Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Crystal Colvin observed deficiencies while investigating complaint control # 18-AS-20210430090536 . LPA Colvin observed that staff members on duty during today's visit (S1 & S2) were not associated to the facility. LPA Colvin additionally observed that S1 does not have a current criminal record clearance and needs an exemption to be approved prior to being cleared to work in the facility. S2 started three months ago and S1 has been working at the facility for over 2 years, but had her criminal record clearance revoked in 2019. LPA Colvin additionally observed that the facility was cited for S1's lack of current criminal record clearance back on 10/22/19. A deficiency is being cited for both staff and civil penalties are being assessed for $500 each ($100 per day x 5 days). Additionally, LPA Colvin has been requesting records from the Administrator for another complaint investigation (#18-AS-20200819151426) since 8/28/20, and has followed up with re-requesting documents three times (9/4/20, 9/16/20, and 9/25/20). LPA Colvin is citing a deficiency for failure to provide records to Licensing staff. During today's visit, LPA Colvin was unable to access staff and resident records (including Hospice), as the Administrator keeps the files off-site and LPA Colvin was unable to reach the Administrator. LPA Colvin contacted the Administrator via call and text and additionally had the staff attempt to contact her as well. Deficiency cited. Due to the serious deficiencies cited today as well as the numerous complaints that have been reported regarding this facility, LPA Colvin is scheduling an I nformal Meeting (via telephone) with the Licensee/Administrator for Thursday, 5/6/21 at 9:00am . LPA Colvin was unable to get a hold of Licensee/Administrator "Margarita" Ana Stark during today's visit, so LPA Colvin will be sending a notice of the Informal Meeting via email to the Licensee/Administrator as well. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report, LIC809D, all civil penalty forms and appeal rights, along with LIC 811 was provided to to facility representative (caregiver) Oliver "OJ" Velasco.
