Correction check·August 24, 2022

On 08/24/2022 at 4:50pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Saborit-Guasch made an unannounced visit to the facility to conduct a follow-up inspection focusing on correcting the deficiency observed during the annual inspection visit the previous day. LPA was greeted and granted entry by caregiver Guilermina Lara-Estrada. Administrator Maria Lat was notified by telephone and called again to be notified of the visit's findings. Administrator authorized the caregiver present to sign the present report on her behalf. When interviewed over the phone, Administrator stated that she had stepped out of the facility for a break but had been at the facility working with the caregiving staff. She stated that the individual missing a background clearance had been sent to get fingerprinted the day before and that she could submit documentation of the fingerprinting. At approximately 4:55pm, LPA observed caregiver S1 who had been identified as not yet fingerprinted and cleared during the annual inspection visit conducted on 08/23/2022 supervising and assisting a resident during their dinner. Staff member S1 was identified by the other caregiver on staff (S2). A query conducted on Guardian prior to conducting the visit confirmed that staff member S1 was not yet associated to the facility and could not be located in Guardian using her personal information. Based on the observations made during today’s visit, one deficiency is being cited per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations and a civil penalty for a repeat violation is being assessed in the amount of $250. This report was reviewed with facility representative and a copy of this report along with appeal rights was provided and left at facility.
