Follow-up on corrections·March 21, 2024

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Martinez, conducted an unannounced visit to the facility. The LPA met with staff, Tiffany Cooke, and spoke with Administrator, Telecia Cooke, over the phone. During the visit the LPA observed the below violation. The LPA observed a staff member, Staff One (S1) to not be listed on the facility personnel roster. A record review of the Department's Criminal Background Check database revealed no profile for S1 was found. A review of the staff member's file revealed S1 was fingerprinted for the California Department of Public Health not the California Department of Social Services. This poses an immediate threat to the health, safety and personal rights of the residents in care. Therefore, due to S1 not having an appropriate fingerprint clearance, a citation and civil penalty will be issued. An exit interview was conducted with staff, Tiffany Cooke, due to the Administrator not being available at the time. The report was reviewed and a copy was provided, along with the LIC 811 and instructions on appeal rights.
