FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:

Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.

Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.

LPA Barnes observed that the facility was equipped with a built-in fire alarm system. One or more carbon monoxide and smoke detectors were present and functioning. Required postings, including the activity schedule and a menu prepared a month in advance, were observed. The most recent fire drill had been conducted on 6/8/26. LPA Barnes informed Director of the requirement to conduct and document fire drills at least once every six months. LPA Barnes observed a 3A-40BC fire extinguisher with a service date of 8/1/25, and an operating telephone was present on the premises. Director stated that no firearms or ammunition were stored or present on the premises and that smoking was not permitted.

LPA Barnes inspected the indoor and outdoor environments and observed no tripping or slipping hazards on the floors or activity surfaces. Toy containers had edges and lids that prevented finger entrapment, and each child had an individually labeled storage space. Furniture and classroom equipment were free of sharp, loose, or pointed parts. Bathroom, toilet, and handwashing fixtures met required ratio regulations and operated in a safe and sanitary manner. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, medications, and other hazardous items were stored separately from food and remained inaccessible to children. Floors were cleaned daily, carpets were vacuumed daily, and solid waste containers remained in good repair with tight-fitting covers. First aid supplies were observed in an accessible location for staff and out of children’s reach.

Sleeping mats were available for each child. Mats, bedding/fitted sheets, and blankets were cleaned or washed daily, and more frequently as needed. Because each child was provided with a clean mat, bedding, and blanket each day, individual labels were not used. Mats were sanitized daily and whenever additional cleaning was necessary

The diapering area was maintained. The changing table had padded vinyl surfaces that were washable, at least one inch thick, with raised sides at least three inches high, and it was positioned within arm’s reach of a sink and away from food preparation areas. Airtight containers were used for soiled diapers. The LPA reviewed the diapering log. The sleeping area for infants was physically separate from the indoor activity space.
