Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Vincent Moleski arrived unannounced to conduct a case management visit. LPA Moleski spoke with facility administrator Marites Ornellas over the phone and explained the purpose of the visit. Ornellas said caregiver Maryvic Felizardo could sign this report in her absence. This visit is to confirm immediate exclusion orders for a staff member (S1). Ornellas acknowledged that S1 is excluded effective immediately, which means that S1 cannot be allowed to work, live in, and/or have contact with clients in any residential facility licensed by the California Department of Social Services. Therefore, the Department orders this facility to remove S1 from any contact with clients and not allow this employee to be physically present in the facility. Ornellas said that S1 has not been working at this facility since at least 2018. Ornellas agreed to remove S1 from this facility's Guardian roster as soon as possible. No deficiencies were cited during this visit. An exit interview was held with Felizardo. A copy of this report and the immediate exclusion notice were left with Felizardo. A signature on this report acknowledges receipt of these documents.
