Upon arrival, LPA was met at the door by Individual (I1), Individual (I2), and Staff Rosalina Alvia. I1, I2, and S1 all wore masks and were providing care/assistance to residents in the facility. LPA verified through the facility Guardian Personal Report/Roster that I1 and I2 had fingerprint clearances but were not associated to Magnolia Gold Home Care as required. Interviews and records reviewed revealed I1 & I2 began working at Magnolia Gold Home Care on 06/07/2021 and 06/09/2021 and currently live at the facility as live-in staff. LPA explained prior to anyone working (including shadowing a staff and/or training), volunteering, residing or being present in any part of the licensed facility they are required to be fingerprint cleared and associated to the facility. LPA explained Community Care Licensing (CCL) requirements and provided the regulation. Administrator stated they understood CCL's requirements and prior to anyone working, providing care, volunteering, or residing at Magnolia Gold Home Care, the individual must obtain a fingerprint clearance and be associated to the facility. Report continued on LIC809-C... During the visit, LPA toured and inspected the facility.

Administrator stated she understood the requirement. · 1 metal frame portable twin size bed in Resident (R1)'s bedroom #2, which was used for staff (S1) to sleep and rest during NOC shift.
