The staff interviewed corroborated that the individual had been present in the facility without the proper clearance.

The allegation that an uncleared adult was an employee within the facility is substantiated as there is a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation occurred. The individual was hired as a caregiver without the necessary background checks and approvals, which is a violation of Health and Safety Code section 1569.17 (e )(1).
