Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) David Marrufo and Marcella Tarin conducted an unannounced Case Management visit and met with Administrator (ADM) Alex Baiasu.

The purpose of the visit was to conduct a follow-up visit for two SOC341 Suspected Adult/Elderly Abuse forms that were submitted by the facility to the Department on 09/09/2024. The first SOC341 form was for resident R1, who reported to facility staff that $300 in cash and two necklaces belonging to R1 had been stolen. The second SOC341 stated that R2 reported to staff that a necklace valued at $2000 and two earrings valued at $500 belonging to R2 had been stolen.

During visit, LPAs interviewed ADM, who stated that staff S1 had been under investigation by local law enforcement for thefts occurring outside of the facility. ADM played a voicemail left on ADMs phone by someone identifying himself/herself as local law enforcement and stated that the investigation into a staff member of ADM's facility for a theft of a house had named the staff as a suspect. The law enforcement officer stated in the voicemail that law enforcement could not prove that the staff stole items from the house. ADM stated that law enforcement had arrived to the facility at an earlier date and confiscated S1's telephone. ADM stated that S1 reported during interview with ADM that S1 had visited the facility outside of S1's working hours and had established friendships with family members of residents. ADM stated S1 told ADM that S1 spends time with family members of residents outside of the facility. ADM stated to have not submitted LIC624 Unusual Incident/Injury Reports for the reported thefts of R1 and R2's belongings.
