25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Janira Arreola conducted an unannounced annual required visit. LPA was granted entry and met with Administrator, Verania Valencia who was informed of the purpose of the visit. The facility has no current residents in care, and has not had residents in care since being licensed.
The facility is a one story home with (4) bedrooms and (2) bathrooms. No pools or firearms are being kept at the facility.
Physical plant, floors, and base boards were observed. The facility has a break in a water pipe which caused the flooring and wood cabinetry to be removed. The fixtures and furniture and appliance were observed in a storage unit on the property and in the backyard. LPA observed there are no current residents in care. The licensee stated the break happened (2) weeks ago. Repairs to flooring, bathrooms, kitchen, plumbing, and reintegration of furniture and supplies will be conducted by the licensee. The licensee estimates this will take (2) months to fully repair and acknowledged the need to keep the department informed of the process and any changes in the future. There are currently no staff working at the facility, and the licensee acknowledged the need to associate and fingerprint staff when hiring them to work at the facility. The licensee stated they would be paying their annual fees by September 18, 2024. The contact information, mailing address, phone numbers and email address was reviewed with the licensee for accuracy. Deficiency was cited for the licensee not informing the department of changes to the plan of operation, and repairs and renovations to the home which makes it unable to house residents in a safe manner.
An exit interview was conducted where this report, appeal rights, and deficiency page was reviewed and provided. A collaborative plan of correction was created and documented. |
