On 3/5/26 at 11:00am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tammy Dutra and Nicolette Cunningham conducted an unannounced complaint inspection and met with licensee D. Bott. It was alleged that the licensee does not reside in the licensed facility.

Licensee D. Bott was interviewed on 02/06/26 at 10:30am. Licensee D. Bott denied the allegation and stated that she resides at the facility during the week and stays with her boyfriend on weekends and provided his address.

The licensee provided her driver's license, as well as mail from the State of California and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and allowed LPA Cunningham to photograph these documents. All three items listed the facility address.

The licensee opened the refrigerator, and the LPA observed and photographed a variety of food items. The licensee also opened her bedroom door, allowing the LPA to observe and photograph a bed and various women's clothing. The licensee stated that she was doing her personal laundry, and the LPA observed a washer and dryer in use.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with licensee D. Bott. Appeal rights were provided.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
