LPA arrived at the facility and rang the doorbell many times and knocked on the door but no one answered. LPA called the Administrator Hermenia delaCruz to inform her that LPA was at the door. A few minutes later, I was allowed entry into this home by Jenneth Liwag, Direct Support Professional/DSP and discussed the purpose of today's visit.
