An incident report submitted by the facility to the Department on 6/15/26 revealed that on 6/14/26 a fire broke out in the caregiver rest area which was put out by staff using water and a fire extinguisher. Per interviews with staff, none of the residents were in areas impacted by the fire and were removed from the immediate health and safety risk of the fire and smoke. Facility staff called 911 and the fire department came. The Reporting Party alleges that after this event staff did not seek medical attention for residents. Staff reported not observing any of the residents to be in medical duress from the incident. Additionally, when the fire department arrived they did not assess any residents to need medical attention.

The Department has investigated the allegation that staff did not seek medical attention for residents. Based upon the information obtained during this investigation, it is determined that the preponderance of evidence was not met to support or corroborate this allegation and therefore deemed unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted with House Manager Alexa Cardenas, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee’s Rights (LIC9058 01/16) were provided at the conclusion of the visit.
