32 | A photograph received by LPA Pascua on October 31, 2025, confirmed that a black child-proof doorknob cover had been installed at the time of the Regional Center’s visit on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at 1:45 p.m. During the visit, LPAs Pascua and Lund attempted to open the facility door but were unable to do so without manipulating both the upper and lower doorknobs.
LPA Pascua informed facility staff that this presented a fire hazard, as the door serves as an emergency exit. Staff stated that all residents were capable of opening the door, explaining that the rubber lock had been added for a resident who previously required assistance. However, it was confirmed that this resident no longer resides at the facility.
Based on the information gathered, the facility did not allow residents from freely exiting the facility.
An immediate civil penalty of $500 is being issued during today’s visit for violation of Section 80020(a).
The following deficiencies were cited per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided to the facility at the end of this visit along appeals rights.
