- Unscrupulous Training Certificates - During LPA Colvin's review of staff files, LPA Colvin observed that the CPR certifications for all staff were expired. LPA Colvin inquired about current certification for staff, which S1 was able to provide to LPA Colvin after bringing out a separate large envelope. At this time, LPA Colvin observed several stacks of training certificates which looked identical from those found in staff files, though these certificates were blank where the staff name would be listed. LPA Colvin looked through these certificates and observed that they were identical to those in staff files, right down to listing all of the same training, same date, and same instructor. LPA Colvin questioned Administrator/Licensee Verly Frias regarding the certificates, and showed him the ones in staff files.
Administrator/Licensee Verly Frias denied knowledge of these and could not account for who's signature the trainer on the certificates was, nor did he have their contact information. LPA Colvin reminded Verly that he is both the Licensee and Administrator for the facility, so he should have knowledge regarding staff training records. No explanation was provided during LPA Colvin's inspection regarding these blank records.
Due to deficiencies cited today as well as concern with blank staff records, LPA Colvin invited Administrator/Licensee Verly Frias to an Informal Meeting via Zoom to discuss facility's plan for compliance. Informal Meeting will take place Tuesday, August 31, 2021 at 2:00pm.
Due to observations made by LPA Colvn, the facility was cited deficiencies and civil penalties in the amount of $500 were issued. LPA Colvin conducted an exit interview with Administrator/Licensee Verly Frias, where a copy of this report, LIC809Ds, LIC421IM, and appeal rights were provided. |
