The prohibition applied to “residential care facilities for the elderly,” commonly referred to as assisted living or eldercare facilities, as well as other nonmedical care facilities under the umbrella of the Department of Social Services.

That has enabled some operators banned from eldercare homes to keep owning, overseeing or working at facilities or services regulated by other agencies, The Times found.

And another operator was prohibited by the Department of Social Services from getting an eldercare license again after being accused of unlawfully taking money from a client and failing to have adequate food at a Garden Grove facility.

Despite the ban, she opened up three eldercare facilities in Folsom before being banned again.

The Department of Social Services oversees more than 12,000 eldercare facilities licensed across California.
