Elder Care & More.

“Based on record review and interview, the manager failed to ensure a personnel record for each employee included documentation of compliance with the requirements in A.R.S. 36-411(A) and (C), for one of two personnel sampled. The deficient practice posed a risk as required information could not be verified. Findings Include: 1. A review of the facility's schedule from January 21, 2026, through February 25, 2026, revealed E2 was scheduled to work as a caregiver on January 22, 2026, January 29, 2026, February 5, 2026, February 12, 2026, and February 19, 2026. 2. A review of E2’s personnel file included copies of E2’s Fingerprint Clearance Card (FPC); however, the FPC issue date was March 04, 1999. There were no other FPCs available for review.  3. In an interview, the findings were discussed with E1. E1 indicated E2 was told they were “grandfathered in” and did not have to obtain a new FPC as long as E2 was working at the same facility and E2 was still employed there. 4. In an exit interview, the findings were reviewed with E1 and no further information was provided.”
