25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cuadra arrived unannounced to conduct a case management visit and met with staff John Semilla Licensee, Eden Relota arrived later. Currently there are five residents in care.
On 5/22/24 LPA received a call from Licensee notifying the Department that their facility's lease agreement has not been renewed due to landlord wants to sell the property. Per Eden, they have unsuccessfully applied to buy the home. However, the selling price is too high and not worth it to buy the property. Based on records review, the terms of the lease agreement expired as of March 31, 2024. On April 23, 2024 the landlord of the facility have issued a 60-day eviction notice to the licensee to vacate the premises by June 22, 2024. However, the licensee provided 30-day eviction notices to the residents and their responsible parties dated May 24, 2024. Upon receipt of eviction notices and written closure plan, it was determined that the eviction notices were unlawful due to the lack of required unlawful detainer statement. Also, the licensee is notifying the residents about the change of use of the facility, but not providing them at least with 60-days to leave the premises as stated per regulation. On 5/27/24, the licensee submitted a letter sent to the landlord requesting an additional 30-days to vacate the property, which it has not received a response from the landlord as of today.
During today's visit, LPA toured the building and grounds and verified facility has two staff on duty providing care and supervision to five residents. Per Eden, the resident's responsible parties are in agreement to get their loved ones relocated to their sister facility Willows Nursing Home #496804217, which is currently pending a subsequent visit to obtain a license. Licensee agreed to review, issue and re-submit lawful 60 days eviction notices to Community Care Licensing and the resident's responsible parties to comply with regulation.
Deficiencies cited from the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 of California Regulation. Appeal rights given. Failure to correct the deficiency and/or repeat deficiencies within a 12 month period may result in civil penalties. Exit interview conducted with Licensee and a copy of this report was given. |
