Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sabrina Calzada arrived unannounced to open a complaint or conduct a 10-day inspection. LPA met with Janelyn Kelly, Administrator, and Jhamil Espino, Licensee, and explained purpose of inspection.

During today's inspection, LPA discussed the incident relating to the allegation with (2) residents (R1 and R2) and Administrator and (1) of the members of the Licensee, Jhamil. LPA also reviewed charting notes from R1's file and the incident report (LIC624) submitted to the Department on 4/23/23, following the incident. Additionally, LPA discussed the incident with the Ombudsman who was at the facility recently to also investigate. The results of the investigation are as follows:

Based on interviews and documentation, it was determined that a second member of the Licensee (S1) who was present in the facility on 4/23/23 (from 12:30 pm- 2:00 pm approximately), was arguing aggressively with (2) guests he brought over, causing R1 to feel mentally stressed and uncomfortable to leave her room to use the restroom.

9099C(1).. R1's room is near the outside patio where the arguing was taking place. Charting notes entered in R1's file. from 4/23/23- 4/25/23, document R1's concern of feeling uncomfortable for her safety.

Interview with the Administrator and Jhamil Espino, revealed that there have been several discussions with S1, since January 2023, related to the business operations. Department notes show that on 3/1/23, S1 had arrived at the facility and was speaking to the Administrator and staff in a loud, aggressive tone.

R1 stated to LPA on 4/27/23 that the facility is a very nice place and is happy here but felt "very uncomfortable" with the S1 and his guests on 4/23/23 due to the anger and aggression observed from the conversation. R2 who was also interviewed on 4/27/23 stated that he heard the "tail end" of the meeting with S1 and the guests, and he knows resident R1 was "very stressed" from it. R2 stated he doesn't believe residents, R3 and R4, heard the conversation.

Espino stated to LPA on 4/27/23 that he has asked S1, several times, not to discuss business operations when on the facility premises. LPA observed an email that was sent from Espino to S1 on 3/1/23 following a prior incident at the facility where S1 was asked not to discuss any business matters at the facility.

Based on information obtained, LPA finds the allegation to be SUBSTANTIATED- a finding that the complaint is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.

Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, a deficiency is being cited on the attached 9099-D page.

Exit interview was conducted with Administrator.

A copy of this report and appeal rights were provided. Administrator's signature on these forms acknowledges receipt of these documents.
