Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kerry Hiratsuka conducted this visit in response to Alta California Regional Center's Title 17 inspection done on May 22, 2024.

On May 22, 2024, Alta California Regional Center inspected the medication administration records (MARS), and found that one caregiver did not initial the date and time the medication was given to the residents. As a result, Alta California Regional Center issued a Facility Action Report (FAR) because the staff did not initial the date and time the medications were given to the residents. Alta California Regional Center representatives did not interview the residents to find out if the residents received their medications. Administrator Maya Malekano, informed LPA during a phone call the medications were given but not initialed and the staff underwent training for record keeping.

Today, LPA is issuing a citation because of the record keeping. Licensee/Administrator already submitted a written plan of correction stating the staff were given refresher training on record keeping for medication.

Deficiencies cited from the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 of California Regulation. Failure to correct the deficiency and/or repeat deficiencies within a 12 month period may result in civil penalties. Appeal rights were provided.
