25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tuesday Cabiness conducted a case management visit, in conjunction with delivering the final report for complaint control # 31-AS-20210903103926. During the visit, LPA observed the structure of the facility to be altered. According to the caregiver, Kara, who confirmed to the LPA the facility had been changed and an additional room was added to the facility. LPA inquired how many residents were currently at the facility, and it was confirmed that the facility had (13) residents at the time of the visit. The capacity is 10; and the facility is over capacity. An immediate civil penalty of $500 will be issued, due to being over capacity and not having a fire clearance for having the amount of residents in the facility.
LPA will also issue a citation for facility not notifying Licensing regarding the alteration of the facility and not obtaining a proper fire clearance, as well not submitting the proper documents to Licensing for the alteration, such as a new facility sketch and building permits.
Administrator was also informed that they need to submit in writing there intention and future plans for the extra room that were added to the facility. Building permits also need to be submitted to LPA within (5) business days (due June 07, 2022).
LPA spoke to both Administrators, Estella and Lidush Avetian, via cellphone, regarding the citations and civil penalty that was issued during today's visit. Both could not be present, and requested that caregiver Kara sign documents, and email them to Administrator.
Exit interview, appeal rights, and copy of report will be emailed. |
