Complaint Investigation Report

It was alleged that a staff member (S1) was working in the facility and providing care to clients without a fingerprint clearance or being properly associated to the facility.

On December 2, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kayla Adkison conducted a search of the Guardian Background Check System for S1’s information. LPA discovered a valid fingerprint clearance, however, S1 was not associated to the facility and was not on the facilities staff roster.

Administrator Christian Herr was interviewed regarding S1’s background clearance. Administrator was unaware that S1 was not associated to the facility as S1 was a former employee. It was administrator’s belief that S1 had never been separated from the facility’s roster in the Guardian system.

While at the facility, LPA directed Administrator to submit a Criminal Background Clearance Transfer Request (LIC 9182) to Community Care Licensing. Administrator complied and LPA confirmed that S1 was added to the facility roster in the Guardian system the same day.

Based on observation, record review, and interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence has been met, therefore the above allegation is Substantiated . California Code of Regulations (Title 22) is cited on the attached LIC 9099-D. Additionally, a civil penalty was assessed in the amount of $100.00 on the attached LIC 421BG. Exit Interview conducted. A copy of this report and Appeal Rights were provided to Administrator, Christian Herr.
