Correction check·October 14, 2024

On October 14, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kiran Jain conducted an unannounced Plan of Correction (POC) visit to verify and confirm that the facility is in compliance with the citations issued during the annual inspection on October 3, 2024. LPA met with Victoria Regala and explained the purpose of the visit. On 10/03/2024, the facility was cited for two deficiencies under the California Code of Regulation (CCR), 87355(e)(1) Criminal Record Clearance, and 87305(a) Alterations to Existing Building or New Facilities. During the visit on 10/14/2024, LPA observed that the private caregiver (PC1) is no longer assisting the resident (R1) at the facility. The Power of Attorney (POA) of R1 has chosen not to hire PC1 for the R1’s care. If the POA decides to hire a private caregiver in the future, the licensee will ensure the caregiver undergoes fingerprinting clearance and is associated with the facility. The deficiency for CCR 87355(e)(1) is corrected and the citation is cleared. LPA inspected the garage and observed that the two staff units in the garage have been demolished and cleared out. On 10/04/2024, the Administrator submitted photos via email to LPA, showing the staff units in the garage had been cleared and were no longer occupied. On 10/10/2024, the Administrator emailed LPA informing that the facility had decided to demolish the units in the garage. The deficiency for CCR 87305(a) Alterations to Existing Building or New Facilities is corrected and the citation is cleared. No deficiencies were cited during the visit. The report is reviewed with Victoria Regala, and a copy is provided.
