On 3/19/2026 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nakagawa arrived unannounced to continue a complaint investigation and deliver findings regarding the allegation above. LPA met with house manager June Penny and spoke with Administrator Gabriela Echevarria by phone.

The complaint alleges that Staff does not have the required amount of food to meet residents’ needs. The complainant stated that there is no food in the refrigerator and that all clients should receive fresh fruit but only get canned fruit instead. LPA conducted inspections of the kitchen including the refrigerator on 12/18/2025, 02/23/2026 and 3/19/2026 and found a two-day supply of fresh perishable fruits and vegetables as required per regulation 85076 (d).

There were also canned fruits and vegetables available for consumption, including refrigerated fruit cups. The house manager stated that they shop often (as shown by multiple grocery receipts) and purchase fruits and vegetables, depending on the preferences of the clients. In addition, all clients in the home were interviewed and stated that they had plenty to eat including fresh fruits and vegetables. Clients take their lunches to Day Program each day so staff and clients also make sure there is enough food for their daily lunches.

After completing multiple kitchen inspections, interviews with staff and clients and review of grocery receipts the allegation that Staff does not have the required amount of food to meet residents’ needs is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened there is not a preponderance of evidence therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

No citations were issued.
