Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ramon Serrano conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings on the above allegation. LPA met with Licensee Brandon Logalla and we discussed the purpose of the visit and elements of the complaint.

Community Care Licensing (CCL) has investigated the above listed complaint allegation. The investigation consisted of interviews with staff, resident, and outside agency interviews.

It was reported to Community Care Licensing on May 18, 2021, that the front gate and/or door were padlocked, impeding egress. In May 2021, an outside source arrived at the facility and found the front gate locked with a padlock. It was found that although the front gate and one of the back gates were locked, there was two additional gates that did not have a padlock. Interview with the licensee revealed that the front gate was locked during the time frame of May 2021 due to robberies in the neighborhood.The licensee further stated that although the main front gate was padlocked, the southern gate was never locked.

The licensee considered the situation an isolated incident. LPA facility visit on May 21, 2021, revealed the northern egress and one western egress route were padlocked. LPA facility visit on May 12, 2022, revealed no locked northern egress route and the western egress route was also unlocked. An interview with resident revealed no knowledge of any locked entry gates.

Based on evidence obtained from various LPA observations and interviews; the northern and one western egress route were padlocked but egress from the facility was not in fact obstructed, due to the unlocked southern egress route. The preponderance of the evidence standard has not been met; therefore, the allegation is found to be unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted with Brandon Logalla, and a copy of this report and Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058) were provided to Brandon Logalla, whose signature below confirms receipt of documents.
