Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Hood arrived at the facility and met with Administrator, Adedeji Mapaderun to follow-up regarding a case management visit conducted on October 7, 2022 in regards to four (4) incident reports received by the Department involving client funds being misappropriated by a prior administrator.

The Department was unable to determine if the facility's prior administrator misappropriated the clients funds, but was able to determine that the funds were misappropriated by someone working for the licensee. Per Title 22, the Administrator shall have the knowledge of and ability to comply with applicable law and regulations, including the ability to maintain or supervise the maintenance of financial and other records. On July 8, 2022, Administrator (S1) sent multiple emails to the payee requesting P&I for three (3) clients totaling $4,100. P&I was for client (C1) for $600, client (C2) for $1,500, and client (C3) for $2,000. On July 11, 2022, payee issued P&I for $4,100 to People's Care Northern California for the three (3) clients. On July 17, 2022, S1 submitted a resignation letter to People's Care Northern California, with last day of employment to be July 30, 2022. On July 18, 2022, People's Care Northern California issued a check to S1 for $4,100 for the clients' P&I. Check was cashed by S1 on July 23, 2022. On July 25, 2022, staff (S2) talked on the telephone with S1. S1 asked if staff could access the safe to verify the security code on the back of the credit card. Staff was unaware the facility had a safe. Staff was able to get into the safe and S1 sounded confused as S1 was sure the last time they were at the facility, they closed and locked the safe. Staff noticed that the binders were put in straight and should have been put in diagonally, causing the safe to not properly close. Staff rearranged the binders and locked the safe. On July 29, 2022, S1's employment terminated as the administrator for the facility.
