Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jessica Cho arrived unannounced for the purpose of conducting the Required 1-Year annual evaluation using the Care Inspection Tool. LPA was greeted and granted entry by Caregiver Jose Segura and explained the reason for the visit. Administrator (Admin) Rebekah Buboi arrived on premise approximately 2:30pm to assist with the inspection.

The facility is a two story home licensed to operate for six non-ambulatory residents of which one may be bedridden and maintains a hospice for three. During today's visit, LPA observed four residents in care and one staff on duty. LPA toured the physical plant with Admin and observed the following: There are five resident bedrooms and two resident bathrooms on the first floor. The second second floor is occupied by the licensee's family member which residents do not have access to. Resident bedrooms had all required furnishings. Bathrooms were found to be in compliance, clean, and operational, however the hot water temperature in the resident bathrooms measured at 123.2 and 131.9 degrees Fahrenheit. All common areas were inspected including the attached two car garage which doubled as a laundry area. LPA observed at least 72 hour supply of emergency food and water. Toxins, disinfectants, sharps, and medications were secured and inaccessible. LPA observed sufficient two-day supply of perishables and seven-day supply of non-perishable food available in the kitchen. LPA toured the exterior portion of the facility. The outdoor passageway is free of obstruction. The exit gates were self-closing and self-latching. LPA observed sufficient seating and shading. The fire extinguisher was serviced on August 15, 2024. The auditory devices and dual-functioning smoke/carbon monoxide detectors were tested and operational with repair, however one detector was missing in a vacant resident bedroom. Emergency evacuation drills are not conducted quarterly. There were no logs showing the drills were being conducted.

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.
