Prior to this visit on 04/25/2025 at 1:10pm, LPM Naira Margaryan spoke with the Licensee/Administrator, Tami Akahoshi and verified that facility is closing due to sell of the property. Licensee indicated that had no knowledge that Licensing Office must be notified about facility closure and had to follow specific procedures for facility closure.
At the time of visit, Licensee/Administrator revealed the same information. LPA was informed that residents received verbal notice of closure on 04/04/25. Licensee/Administrator informed LPA that a 60 day closure notice was drafted and a copy was issued to one (01) of the residents on 04/25/25 and on 04/26/25 the other three (03) residents received the notices.
During this visit three (03) out of four (04) residents were already relocated. Resident (01) interviewed revealed that staff did provide a 60 days notice.
