Follow-up·August 10, 2022

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tricia Danielson arrived unannounced to the facility to conduct a case management visit to address a deficiency discovered during the processing of the facility's annual inspection. Facility staff phoned Licensee/Administrator Bobby Corpuz to notify him of LPA's presence in the facility. LPA spoke with Corpuz via telephone. Corpuz was unable to return to the facility, but did send house manager Janet Moster from the sister facility, Rose Garden. During today's visit, LPA interviewed Staff #1 (S1), reviewed documents in S1's file, and interviewed Corpuz via telephone. LPA discovered that in 2017, S1 had been excluded from being employed by any licensed facility of the Department of Social Services (DSS), being present in any licensed facility of the Department of Social Services, and having contact with any resident of a facility licensed by the Department of Social Services for the remainder of his life. On August 9, 2022, S1 was observed to be employed at the facility and subsequently caring for residents during the facility's annual inspection. During today's visit, LPA requested S1 leave the facility immediately to which he complied and LPA observed him vacate the property via Uber shortly thereafter. Licensee/Administrator Bobby Corpuz was educated of the 2017 public Decision and Order regarding the prohibition of S1's presence in ANY licensed facility. S1 may petition DSS for reinstatement and may only return to any licensed facility if and when the petition is approved/granted. Licensee Corpuz acknowledges S1 may not be present in any licensed facility until such petition is approved/granted and stated S1 will not be allowed to return until then. A copy of the public Decision and Order was provided to the facility as well. There are no health, safety, or personal rights concerns noted at the facility at this time. The following deficiency was cited per Title 22, Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. See LIC 809D. An exit interview was conducted and this reported was provided along with appeal rights.
