Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elizabeth Irra conducted a complaint visit to investigate the above allegation. LPA was allowed entry by Africa Junio and discussed the purpose of today's visit. Jasmin Junio (Staff #2/S-2) arrived shortly.

During this visit, LPA obtained a copy of the staff and client rosters. LPA reviewed Client #1’s (C-1) file and obtained relevant documentation. LPA also reviewed the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) addressing the above allegation issued by Eastern Los Angeles Regional Center dated September 5, 2025 with Africa Junio (Administrator). Per Ms. Junio, she is in agreement with the CAP findings and will be complying with the CAP. LPA also interviewed C-1, S-1 and S-2 during this visit. LPA was unable to interview Client #2 (C-2) and Client #3 (C-3) as they were not present at the time of this visit. LPA was unable to interview Client #4 (C-4) as C-4 is non-verbal.

Allegation: Staff did not provide a client with adequate care and supervision. It has been alleged that on 09/17/2024, C-1 was left unsupervised (no staff present) at this facility. Per CAP/interviews conducted, on 09/17/24, C-1 was left alone/unsupervised at this home while S-1 took C-2 to a medical appointment. Per interviews, C-1 did not want to accompany S-1 and C-2 to the medical appointment as C-1 had to work that day. C-1’s file review did not contain documentation indicating that C-1 is able to stay alone at this facility. Client and staff interviews acknowledged this incident occurring. Per interviews conducted, this has been the only incident pertaining to this matter. Interviews conducted, C-1’s file review and CAP corroborate this allegation.

Based on interviews conducted and document review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated.

Deficiency is being cited according to California Code of Regulations, Title 22. Refer to LIC 9099D.

Immediate Civil Penalty was issued during this visit.

Exit interview conducted, appeal rights and this report was provided to Africa Junio.
