Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Norma Lomeli and Pete Espinoza arrived at facility to conduct an unannounced complaint visit to close complaint. Met with Spanish-speaking Licensee, Raquel Sanchez and census taken. The complaint investigation finding is based on interviews and records review conducted by the Investigation Bureau.
