25 | On October 18, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Komal Charitra conducted an unannounced case-management visit in relation to complaint #: 14-AS-20241015090138. LPA met with Administrator, Ricardo Aban and explained the purpose of the visit.
During the complaint investigation conducted on 10/18/24, the facility has had bed bugs as an ongoing problem since March 7, 2024. LPA reviewed and obtained documentation related to exterminator services conducted by Western Exterminator Company. Based on review of this, it appears these services have been ongoing for ten (10) years with monthly provider services. However, upon further review of this, this extermination services contract with facility indicates, the services are specific for rodents and insects. Nowhere in these extermination services is listed as bed bugs being addressed. Based on this, it proves there was a lack of follow through on the part of the facility administrator for accountability, failing to ensure the best interest and welfare of their residents, and failing to establish policies regarding operation within licensing regulations. In addition, the administrator also failed to take responsibility and administer the facility operation in accordance with licensing regulations, resulting in an unsafe environment for residents.
The deficiencies cited on the following page are in violation of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8. Failure to correct said deficiencies may result in additional civil penalties.
This report was reviewed with facility representative, and a copy of this report must be made available for public review upon request. A copy of this report is provided to the facility.
Appeal rights discussed and provided to facility representative during the visit.
