notifying the Department that Juan Alvarado would serve as Interim Administrator during Lateef Gafar’s temporary absence. It was reported that the Regional Center and DDS did not approve Juan Alvarado to assume the back-up Administrator role, as their approval must be submitted and obtained prior to implementation. This raised concerns regarding compliance with Title 17 regulations and adherence to the terms of clients’ admission agreements.

Although there is an conjunction between Title 17 and Title 22 requirements, facilities are required under Title 22 to comply with all applicable State laws. Title 22, Section 80064(b), states: “Each licensee shall make provision for continuing operation and carrying out of the administrator's responsibilities during any absence of the administrator.” The LPA determined that the LIC 308 submitted on 12/15/2025 appropriately notified the Department that Juan Alvarado would serve as Interim Administrator during the temporary absences of both LaQuencia Davis and Lateef Gafar. The LIC308 further states, "...the licensee shall notify the licensing agency in writing within ten (10) days of any change in authorization". LPA determined that the notification was received within the required time-frame and met Licensing notification requirements.

Based on interviews conducted, records reviewed, and analysis of applicable Title 22 regulations, LPA determined the facility made appropriate provision for administrative oversight and operated with a properly designated administrator for purposes of Licensing requirements. Therefore, the allegation is determined to be Unsubstantiated at this time.

Exit interview conducted and copy of report provided.
