Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kelly Dulek initiated a Case Management visit today with the purpose of confirming the removal of Individual #1 (I1) from the facility. LPA arrived at 09:52AM and met with Wellness Director Esmeralda Elizarraraz at 10:00AM. Administrator was contacted via telephone and arrived at 12:50PM. Entrance interview conducted. The Woodland Hills Regional Office (RO) received a Default Decision and Order with an effective date of 09/08/2023, indicating that I1, who had sought employment with the facility, is prohibited from employment in any facility licensed by the Department. Prior to today's visit, LPA reviewed the facility's Guardian roster to ensure I1 is not associated to the facility. During today's visit, LPA interviewed Wellness Director at 10:00AM and confirmed that I1 never worked, trained, or interacted with any residents in the facility. I1 was a prospective employee, but did not obtain background clearance, therefore, the facility did not hire I1. LPA did not observe I1 in the facility during the visit. The facility Management is aware that I1 cannot be hired or present in the facility. No citations issued. Exit interview conducted. A copy of today's report was provided.
