On December 28, 2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Erica Pacheco conducted an unannounced complaint inspection to provide findings regarding the above allegation. LPA met with Director Carly Becerra, toured the facility inside and outside and a census was taken. LPA explained and discussed the allegation and finding with Director.

During the course of the investigation, LPA reviewed facility records, interviewed staff, parents, and children in care. Due to inconsistent statements obtained, the information did not corroborate the allegation, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, no deficiency is being cited during today’s visit. Exit interview conducted with the Director Carly Becerra. Appeal rights were provided and discussed. A Notice of Site Visit was given and will be posted for 30 days.
