Rats had infested the assisted living facility in Van Nuys, state investigators said.

Tatyana and Edvard Krivitsky, who were identified by the state as being associated with the home, didn’t admit to the state accusations, but the couple agreed in a stipulation that they would never oversee or work in such assisted living facilities again — or even set foot in one unless they were visiting a family member who lived there.

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.

State restrictions make it difficult to confirm how many people have stayed involved in other forms of care after being banned from assisted living, but The Times was able to uncover several other cases by combing through databases and records.

If the Department of Social Services bans an individual from assisted living homes, that doesn’t automatically keep that person out of facilities licensed by other government agencies, such as the congregate facilities regulated by the Department of Public Health.
