Complaint Investigation Report

Vasquez was with a second staff coming in to work from 5pm-10pm. For both Saturday and Sunday reveals that there was one staff scheduled for both the morning and afternoon/evening shift. Per an interview with Licensee Vasquez the ratio was never 1:1 for the home, as the placing agency does not pay for the additional 1:1 staffing. Per Title 22 regulation 85065.5 states that Regional Center clients, staffing shall be maintained as specified by the Regional Center but no less than one direct care staff to three such clients.

Based on observation, interview and records review of the facility's program design stating the ratio is 2:1. the allegation of facility is not following required ratio is substantiated. A finding that the complaint is substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.

An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report 9099D, appeal rights, LIC811-confidential names list, were reviewed and provided to Manuel Vasquez, Licensee.
