25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Esther Miller conducted an unannounced annual required inspection on today's date. LPA was greeted at the front door and granted entry by Frank Ramirez, Administrator, after identifying herself and disclosing the purpose of the visit. Yayoi Quinlan, Office Manager, was also present.
LPA has known for over a year that the facility is in the process of changing ownership. Administrator stated that an application to change ownership was submitted on September 2021 and managed by Bethany, Centralized Applications Bureau (CAB) Analyst.
CAB Analyst contacted him months after the application was submitted with additional requirements. Administrator could not complete the requirements in the time allotted, closing the application around May or June 2022.
Currently, an application has not been resubmitted. Administrator has contacted the fire department to do an independent fire clearance to ensure that the facility will pass. Administrator is also waiting on a contractor to fix a window that was deemed an issue during the application process. Administrator will attempt to resubmit an application to the Department by February or March 2023.
No deficiencies were observed during today's visit. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator and a copy of this report along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058) were provided. |
