25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Esther Cortez and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) KaSandra Lopez conducted an unannounced Case Management - Other visit and met with Licensee/Administrator Fe Higgins.
The purpose of today's visit was to meet with Licensee/Administrator Fe Higgins to discuss the potential future closure of the facility and to discuss proper closure procedures. The Licensee stated they have received multiple offers but has not agreed to any offers and has not signed any paperwork.
LPM Lopez discussed Health and Safety code 1569.682 with the Licensee. The Licensee understand that the residents must receive at least a 60 day notification of the closure with the requirements of Health and Safety code 1569.682 and prior to providing the 60 day notice to the residents, due to the size of the facility the licensee must first submit a closure plan pursuant to 1569.682 to Community Care Licensing (CCL) and receive approval first prior to issuing the 60 day notice to the residents.
The Licensee stated they understood the closure requirements and has the assistance of Consultant Becky Spring and Ventura County Behavior Health to assist with the future closure. The Licensee understands any potential buyers must be aware and understand the regulation requirements of the closure of a licensed facility.
Exit interview conducted. A copy of Health and Safety Code 1569.682, sample eviction notice and today's report was provided to Licensee. |
