Licensee Natalia Verdugo arrived during the visit. The purpose of the visit was to verify if the two deficiencies regarding resident and staff files issued on 1/19/2024 had been corrected by the correction due date of 2/16/2024. During today’s visit, LPA Ruiz spoke with Licensee Natalia and Caregiver Carolina Garcia regarding the POC documentation and reviewed resident and staff records. Resident and staff records were not complete and the Licensee confirmed that the records present at the facility had not been updated. An immediate civil penalty of $100 per day totalling $400 for 2/17/2024 to 2/20/2024 is being assessed on an LIC421FC for failure to correct the resident records by POC due date.

Therefore, the deficiency 87506(a) regarding resident files has been corrected as of 2/20/2024 and LPA provided Licensee with a letter of Deficiency Cleared. Staff records were not complete and the Licensee stated that the delay was due to waiting on availability for doctor appointments. Licensee requested a POC due date extension, which LPA granted until 3/19/2024. LPA provided Licensee with technical assistance regarding requesting POC due date extensions. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee Natalia Verdugo, whose signature below confirms receipt of a copy of this report, the LIC421FC, LIC178, LIC9102TA, LIC811, Letter of Deficiency Cleared, and the Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC9058 3/22).
