On Monday, October 6, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Perry conducted a case management – other inspection at the above facility to follow up on forms and documentation requested by the Department. A letter was sent to the facility on October 2, 2025, notifying the licensee of missing documentation. The facility had previously requested to add Staff #1 and Staff #2 onto the facility roster; however, the Department was unable to process the transfer without the required forms and identification.

Upon arrival, LPA Perry met with the Facility Director,Sister Irma Padilla who guided LPA Perry on a tour of the facility. LPA explained the purpose of the visit and confirmed that the Department is requesting the facility to complete and submit an LIC 9182 Criminal Background Clearance Transfer Request forms for Staff #1 and Staff #2 and legible, valid, government issued photo identification for both staff, to be submitted to the Department for processing.

LPA reminded the Director that all adults working or residing in a licensed facility must have either a California background clearance or a criminal record exemption clearance associated to the facility prior to having any client contact. LPA informed director that failure to comply is a violation of law subject to an immediate $100 civil penalty per person, per day until the individual is cleared. Any individual without clearance must be immediately removed from the premises.

LPA Perry confirmed per facility director that Staff #1 and Staff #2 are currently volunteers and are volunteering less than 15 hours a week and per director staff #1 once fingerprint cleared will be hired as a full time Teacher. Staff #2 is a volunteer and is pending fingerprints to be able to be at the facility for more hours. The Director acknowledged this requirement and stated that the documents will be gathered and sent to the Department as soon as possible. LPA emphasized that Staff #1 and Staff #2 cannot be on the premises as employees working more than then 15 hours per week until they are eligible and show as cleared in the Guardian system. Director understood. LPA Perry provided the Director with a copy of LIC 9182 Criminal Background Clearance Transfer Request form. Director filled it out and provided documents to LPA Perry during visit for S#1. Per facility director she will submit forms for S#2 and submit to department.

An exit interview was conducted with facility director. A Notice of Site Visit (LIC 9213) was issued and posted by the Director. A copy of this report and the Notice of Site Visit were provided to the Director with appeal rights.

FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:
  • Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.
  • Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.
