“Based on observation, record review, and documentation review, the governing authority failed to ensure compliance with A.R.S. § 36-411, for one of two personnel records reviewed. The deficient practice posed a risk if a personnel member was a danger to a vulnerable population.     A.R.S. § 36-411(A) states:   "A. Except as provided in subsection F of this section, as a condition of licensure or continued licensure of a residential care institution, a nursing care institution or a home health agency and as a condition of employment in a residential care institution, a nursing care institution or a home health agency, employees and owners of residential care institutions, nursing care institutions or home health agencies, contracted persons of residential care institutions, nursing care institutions or home health agencies or volunteers of residential care institutions, nursing care institutions or home health agencies who provide medical services, nursing services, behavioral health services, health-related services, home health services or direct supportive services and who have not been subject to the fingerprinting requirements of a health professional's regulatory board pursuant to title 32 shall have a valid fingerprint clearance card that is issued pursuant to title 41, chapter 12, article 3.1 or shall apply for a fingerprint clearance card within twenty working days after employment or beginning volunteer work or contracted work. Findings include: 1. During a tour of the facility, the compliance officer observed E2 working as a caregiver during the inspection.   2. A review of E2's personnel record revealed a Fingerprint Clearance Card that expired on April 6, 2026. E1 provided a receipt that documented E2 paid to apply for a renewal of the fingerprint clearance card on April 6, 2026. However, a review of the Department of Public Safety website revealed the fingerprint clearance card was not valid.  3. In an exit interview, the findings were reviewed with E1 and no additional information was provided.”
