13 | On July 6, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lavinia Muscan arrived at the facility unannounced to open complaint into the allegation listed above and met with Administrator Kim Delgado.
Upon arrival at the facility, LPA observed a portable door reinforcement bar jamming one of the exterior exit doors of the facility resulting in residents being unable to leave through this door. The ED stated the facility is utilizing the door jammer due to malfunctions of the alarm system. A referral was made to the local fire jurisdiction to determine if the delay egress system is working properly. Based on Department observation facility did not ensure that exit doors were free from obstruction, which poses an immediate health, safety, or personal rights risk to persons in care. The preponderance of evidence standards has been met. Therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, a deficiency is being cited on the attached 9099-D page. Immediate civil penalty of $500.00 was issued today. Failure to correct shall result in civil penalties.
Appeal Rights given to administrator. A copy of this report has been provided to facility. Exit interview conducted.
