Residential Care Facility Consulting, Inc. was created to share the knowledge
that has been gained by working along with Community Care Licensing to bring
Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly back into compliance.   The Owner,
Consultants of RCFC, Inc. have developed a reputation with Licensing of being
able to take a facility that had many non-compliance issues and return the facility
to compliance.                                                     
There are many issues involved in the operation of an RCFE.  Every year
Chaptered Legislation is added to The Health and Safety Code.  This legislation
either changes or adds to the Rules of Operation which each facility needs to
follow to prevent being cited for a deficiency.  In addition to these new
regulations, Title 22 has in-depth information as to the proper administration of
the daily operation in an RCFE.  Ignorance of the rules is no excuse.  Ignorance
of the rules can also prevent a Licensee from submitting an Appeal which would
remove the citation from the facility record.          
Any person can go into the CCLD Office and request to see the file for any
facility.  Courtesy allows that you call at least 3 days ahead of time so the file can
be prepared for viewing.  The private personal information is removed, while the
remainder of the file is given to the person who requested the review.  This
person will be given the reports of any visit CCLD has made to your
facility.                                                                                   
I am sure that all of us would wish to have this file shown with no bad marks
available against the facility.  One of the ways for this to happen is to always be
fully aware of the daily operation of your facility.  This includes all staff and
resident files, work schedules, medication administration records, food services,
Admission Agreements, Physician Reports etc.  CCLD has an exact pattern for
the completion of all of the forms in the facility.  When areas are skipped or new
forms not available in the file, the facility will be
cited.                                                                                          
RCFC Inc. is available to help with the operation of the facility in many ways.  We
will complete a Mock Survey to determine if all paperwork is complete and
updated as necessary.  We can also assist with the completion of a Plan of
Correction and the Appeal Process in the event of a citation.  We provide the
staff training required for the proper operation of your facility and any additional
training required as part of the Plan of Correction.              
We are happy to answer any questions you might have via a phone call to our
office at 909-434-6970.  You may also email us at
Rockcarol6@AOL.com  Our
website is located at:
www.residentialcarefacilityconsulting.com Remember,
we are here to assist you in any way possible to maintain a clean record on your
facility
