Based on interview, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure an employee working as a CNA (a healthcare professional who provides basic resident care and support) at the facility held a valid and up-to-date license and met competency evaluation requirements for training. This failure had the potential to result in an unlicensed CNA providing direct care to the residents without proper the certification and training, and placing the residents' safety at risk.Findings:On 1/28/26, CDPH, L&C Program was forwarded a complaint from the CNA Misconduct, which showed CNA 1 picked up an afternoon shift on 1/26/26, at the facility. However, the person who showed up and claimed to be CNA 1 was male. The complainant alleged CNA 1 stole a TV out of the utility closet and left the scheduled shift.
