Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Aurelio Mendoza conducted an unannounced case management–incident inspection. LPA met with Program Manager Rebecca Quintanilla, took a census, and toured the indoor and outdoor areas. The purpose of the inspection was to follow up on an unusual incident involving an injury that occurred on 08/18/2026.

On 08/18/2026 at approximately 10:45 a.m., during outdoor play, two children collided while running near the play structure. As a result, one child fell forward and made contact with part of the structure, sustaining minor swelling and a small cut. Staff responded immediately, provided first aid, and escorted the child to the onsite clinic. The authorized representative was notified, and the clinic doctor assessed the child, confirming there was no injury to the eye and no signs of concussion. The child was released to the authorized representative and remained out of care until 08/24/2026.

Record review conducted today confirmed the child was signed in and out on 08/18/2026 from 7:44 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Records also verified that the child returned to care on 08/24/2026 and was observed present today.

LPA conducted interviews with staff, reviewed facility records, and inspected the outdoor playground. Staff reported that required supervision practices, including zoning and scanning, were in place during outdoor activities and that safety expectations are reviewed with children prior to outdoor play. Staff stated they responded promptly to the incident by providing first aid and notifying the authorized representative. During the inspection, LPA observed no hazardous conditions on the playground.

Based on today’s inspection, staff interviews, record review, and observations, the incident appears isolated. Staff responded appropriately and followed required procedures. No supervision concerns or hazards were identified.

An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with Program Manager Rebecca Quintanilla. Appeal rights were provided. Per Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1 of the California Code of Regulations, no deficiencies are cited. This report shall be made available to the public upon request. LIC 9213 Notice of Site Visit was provided and must remain posted for 30 days.

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.
