Follow-up on corrections·March 20, 2024

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Amy Strother arrived unannounced to the facility at 1:50pm. LPA was greeted by Staff (S1) who stated that the Center Director, Heather Peters (D1) was currently away from the facility on a lunch break. Also present at the facility were 4 additional staff, Staff 2 - Staff 5 (S2-S5). LPA reviewed the Employer Roster printed from Guardian on 03/19/24. The Employee Roster is a list of the individuals that have criminal record clearances associated to the facility. LPA did not see staff S4 or S5 listed on the roster. S1 stated that it was S4's first day of employment and that S5 had worked at the facility for awhile. When D1 arrived back to the facility she stated that she had confirmed with the Licensing Regional Office in Santa Rosa that S4 and S5 had eligible clearances prior to beginning employment and sent copies of S4 and S5's driver's licenses to the Licensee of the facility who is responsible for transferring the fingerprints in Guardian. LPA reviewed Guardian during the visit, verifying that although S4 and S5 did have eligible criminal record clearances, they had not been associated to the facility. LPA made both D1 and Licensee (L1) aware of the deficiency. L1 stated during a phone call with LPA Strother that she would take care of it and associate S4 and S5 to the facility right away. At 4:52pm L1 emailed LPA Strother verification that she had in fact associated S4 and S5 to the facility. The following violation of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22; Division 12, were observed: see LIC 809D. Appeal Rights were provided. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with facility representative, Heather Peters. A notice of site visit was given to facility representative and must remain posted on, or immediately adjacent to, the interior side of the main door for 30 days.
