25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Luis Mora conducted an unannounced annual visit at the facility with focus on the infection control domain, medication and food review. LPA Mora met with John Christopher Ong (Administrator) and explained the reason for the visit. The facility is licensed to serve four non-ambulatory clients ages 18-59, of which 2 may be bedridden. The facility currently has 1 ambulatory client (within age range) and 2 non-ambulatory clients (above the age range) which exceeds the 50% age acceptance or retention limit (refer to 85068.4(g)). However, the administrator has communicated with CCLD prior to this visit and requested an age exception. The age exception request is still pending. Administrator does not wish to change the facility from an Adult Residential Facility (ARF) to a Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE).
