Allegation: Facility is not following program plan. It has been alleged that this facility is out of compliance by not following the program plan. Per issued Corrective Action Plan (CAP) dated 12/04/24, this facility is out of compliance by not having a delayed egress system as indicated in their program design, the facility was unable to provide business liability, automobile, and workers' compensation insurance policy and that this facility did not have a source verification for the consultant hours being provided by the contractor. LPA confirmed above information with Ms. Harbin. Per Ms. Harbin, she is in agreement with the CAP findings and will be complying with the CAP. During LPA’s tour, LPA observed the door in the front gate leading to the front entrance door did not have delayed egress and the back gate was open upon LPA’s arrival. Per CAP report, Ms. Harbin’s agreement to the CAP and tour this corroborates 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.

Exit interview conducted, appeal rights and this report was provided to Zion Asuega/Lead.
