On February 27, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kayla Adkison arrived at the facility unannounced to conduct a Required Annual Inspection. LPA met with Associate Director, Shelley Stephens, and On-site Administrator, Sarah Silva, and explained the purpose of the visit. At the time of the inspection, 18 clients and 7 staff were present in the facility. 20 additional clients and 6 staff were on a field trip to the Jelly Belly Factory. LPA observed clients participating in yoga class, playing games, and doing crafts.

The main facility (pavilion) is currently under construction and is unable to be used by clients due to mold being discovered during a renovation. The facility is temporarily utilizing four front office spaces as classrooms and clients are taking more outings into the community while the main pavilion is being completed.

Areas toured include but are not limited to: four activity rooms/classrooms, storage areas, kitchen, a common room, and two (2) bathrooms.
