25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sean Haddad conducted this announced inspection for the purpose of conducting a pre-licensing inspection. LPA met with Applicant (AP) Maricris Lafiguera, discussed the purpose of the inspection, and toured the facility. Facility is to operate a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly. Application was submitted to Community Care Licensing on 09/01/2022. This is a change of ownership with persons in care. This is the second pre-licensing inspection. Please see LIC809 dated 06/20/2023.
During the initial inspection, the LPA and AP observed the following: the fire clearance granted on 01/17/2023 allowed for 2 Non-Ambulatory, 2 Ambulatory, and 2 Bedridden residents. However, all residents residing at the facility were Non-Ambulatory. AP stated they would obtain a new fire clearance to resolve the issue.
Since the initial pre-licensing inspection, AP obtained a new fire clearance from Orange County Fire Authority dated 09/12/2023 which allows for 6 Bedridden residents. During today’s inspection, LPA toured the facility with AP and confirmed the facility is following the new fire clearance. The issue noted during the initial pre-licensing inspection has been addressed.
AP has requested a hospice waiver for 3 and LPA confirmed there are 3 residents currently on hospice at the facility. AP stated they would like to increase the hospice waiver either before or after licensure. LPA advised AP to follow the current hospice waiver until a new one is approved. AP stated they understood and agreed.
LPA explained the process of this application and about the post licensing inspection once the facility is licensed. AP was informed today that the facility is ready for licensure and final approval will be processed by the CAB supervisor in Sacramento. Component III was waived during the initial pre-licensing inspection. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was discussed with and provided to AP. |
