25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Pang Lee arrived at the facility unannounced on 09/01/2026 to conduct a case management visit. LPA Lee met with care staff Rosamary Manaringkuba and explained the purpose of the visit. The facility census was six residents. A brief interview was conducted with Administrator Taty Sael via telephone.
The purpose of today's visit was to follow up on a LIC 624 Incident Report received by the Department on 07/14/2026. According to the incident report, on 07/13/2026 at approximately 9:45 PM, care staff discovered that Resident 1 (R1) could not be located within the facility or the surrounding area. Staff reported that R1 was last seen at approximately 9:15 PM in their bedroom. After conducting a search of the facility and the immediate vicinity, staff were unable to locate R1. At approximately 10:20 PM, Administrator Taty Sael contacted law enforcement and reported R1 as a missing person. At approximately 11:00 PM, law enforcement located R1 at a nearby train station and returned the resident to the facility; however, the resident wanted to go to the hospital due to an injury. A review of R1's LIC 602, Physician's Report, dated 07/06/2026, documented that R1 is unable to leave the facility unsupervised and requires supervision or hands-on assistance. During the phone call with Administrator Sael, who stated that facility staff were already suspicious of R1’s behavior as R1 had their clothes hanging on their wheelchair. Based on the information obtained during today's case management visit, the facility did not provide adequate care and supervision to ensure R1's safety, resulting in R1 leaving the facility unsupervised and being reported as a missing person. This posed an immediate risk to the resident's health and safety. Therefore, a deficiency is being cited under California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, for lack of care and supervision. An immediate civil penalty of $500 was assessed on 09/01/2026.
An exit interview was conducted with care staff Manaringkuba. A copy of this LIC 809, LIC 809-D, LIC 421D, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights was provided to the facility at the conclusion of the visit.
