Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 9/1/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Samuel Lopez arrived at the facility to address a separate and unrelated issue. However, in conducting a tour, taking and census, and verifying staff association to the facility, one staff was not listed under the facility associations. After reviewing the staff file and additional facility files, it was verified that the staff was never associated to the facility. It was also verified that the staff has been working at the facility for over five days. The non-association of the staff constitutes a violation of Title 22 regulations regarding the requirement of Criminal Record Clearances and Transfers. A Civil Penalty has been assessed during this inspection. Payment is due when billed and the check(s) or money orders shall be made payable to the “California Department of Social Services”. YOU WILL RECEIVE AN INVOICE IN THE MAIL. DO NOT SEND MONEY UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR INVOICE. DO NOT SEND CASH.
