During today’s meeting, RM, LPM, and LPA discussed the following topics: · Construction plans/physical plant concerns and the corresponding communication with CCL and residents/responsible parties. RM reminded licensee to ensure proper construction permits are obtained. · Communication with CCLD – RO and Centralized Application Bureau (CAB) · Administrator plan for the Licensee’s facilities - Licensee previously provided LPA with 3 (three) potential Administrators, 2 (two) of which have pending Administrator Certificates. RO will follow up with Administrator Certification section. · Spreading thin of the Licensee. Ensure Management team is in place to support the growth of the business. · LLCs listed as the Licensee – one shows as inactive. Clarification on which LLCs should be listed. Report Continued on LIC 809-C Managing members of the corporations, a plan to ensure continuity/backup in case of emergency. · Change of Ownership applications and Interim Management Agreements for pending applications. The Licensee discussed: · The construction contract with the current contractor included measures to keep the residents safe, but that doesn't appear to be what has happened. Licensee will stop work immediately and revisit when there is a relocation site to ensure health and safety of the residents in care. · Joseph had an agreement with the current licensees for them to continue to manage operations for their facilities until they closed escrow and the current licensees changed the plan. · Administrators had to renew or apply for new certificates, which is taking a lot of time to process. · 12 Admins on his team at this point and a day program director. 30 total facilities licensed and/or pending at this point. · Currently, Joseph Jose is the only managing member of the LLCs currently, but that will change. Joseph understands over majority change, needs to go through CAB. Have a lot of RCFEs that can use a management company and Joseph is aware of how to add a management company to the License. · Joseph met with CAB supervisors this summer – he asked to have just 1 or 2 analysts looking at the applications would be helpful to streamline the process. · Joseph discussed transparency with both the Department and families and ensuring best practices for communication going forward.
