On 4/10/26 @ 8:15am Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Erica Laird conducted an unannounced case management inspection and met with owner Shelly Caperello, in response to an Unusual Incident Report received by the Department on 3/25/26. Based on incident report, a child (C1) who had a known allergy ingested food which caused an allergic reaction.

Shelly stated at some point C1 got a hold of food they are allergic too and ate it. Shelly stated she does not know how C1 got a hold of the food. Shelly stated staff immediately called C1's parent who told them to give C1 over-the-counter medication. Shelly stated the facility does have prescribed medication at the facility for C1’s allergy. Shelly stated staff did not administer the prescription medication for C1 at the direction of C1’s parent. Shelly stated staff did not call emergency services. Shelly stated C1's parent arrived and took C1 to the ER where they were given prescription medication to treat their allergic reaction.

FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:
  • Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.
  • Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.

On 3/25/26 and 4/10/26 LPA Laird conducted 3 staff interviews (S1-S3). Staff interviewed stated they had knowledge of C1's allergy.

All staff interviewed stated they did not see how C1 obtained the bowl. All staff interviewed stated C1 was given over-the-counter medication as directed by C1's parent. Two staff interviewed stated they felt unsure of how to handle the emergency situation. Two staff interviewed stated C1 had also been given food in the same week which contained ingredients C1 was allergic to. Two staff interviewed stated C1 was given over-the-counter medication for that incident at the direction of C1's parent. Two staff stated C1 did not have a severe allergic reaction during that particular incident.

On 3/25/26 the facility was toured and 1 child file was reviewed. LPA Laird observed medications for C1. LPA Laird observed C1 had a prescription medication and two over-the-counter medications.
