Deficiencies issued on 2/8/2024 were re-cited. Upon LPA arrival at facility on 5/16/2024 LPA and caregiver observed unlocked medication cart in living room and also observed unlocked hallway closet containing toxins. Two civil penalties were issued for repeat citations of these deficiencies: 87465(h)(2) and 87705(f)(2), respectively. The CCL report issued on 5/16/2024 reiterated CCL’s finding that facility's training materials provided by Licensee do not meet regulation.

Once facility training materials are approved by CCL, staff training to be completed and training log provided to CCL by no later than 5/31/2024.

Civil penalties are being assessed in the amount of $100 per day for failure to correct deficiencies 87465(h)(2) and 87705(f)(2). Continued on 809C... Continued from 809... Per CCL and licensee agreement during office meeting on 3/29/2024, licensee was to review and submit their Plan of Operation to ensure facility's compliance with Title 22 regulations going forward. As of 5/16/2024 licensee had not provided CCL with Plan of Operation and the deficiency was cited on 5/16/2024. On 5/28/2024 CCL received from licensee an outline of their plan of operation, not the pertinent portion that addresses training. However, the plan of correction issued by LPA did not specify that the portion of the plan of operation being requested specifically pertains to training. Therefore, LPA is giving an extension for deficiency 87208(a) until 6/7/2024. LPA and Licensee discussed choosing a vendor for training from the vendor list that LPA emailed to licensee on 5/7/2024, as they are already approved and therefore licensee will not need to submit training materials for CCL to approve. Should licensee chose an approved vendor, licensee will notify LPA of selection choice no later than 6/10/2024. Should licensee not choose an already approved vendor, licensee will need to submit training materials to CCL for approval no later than 6/10/2024.
