Facility Evaluation Report

On 06/18/25, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) L. Salazar arrived at the facility unannounced to conduct a Health & Safety visit based on a self reported incident sent on 06/17/25. LPA stated the purpose of the visit and was allowed entry into the facility. LPA met with Program Director to review the details of the incident report. LPA toured all 6 facility classrooms and recreation rooms inside with clients. Temperatures read 78- 84 degrees Fahrenheit inside. LPA observed clients in care to be comfortable and engaging in activities.

On 06/17/25, Program Administrator submitted an incident report to inform CCL of an emergency evacuation that occurred due to a severe and repairable issue with he air conditioner system. At approximately 8:05 AM, staff in the green room reported that their classroom temperature had reached 79 degrees and the air conditioning appeared to be off. Executive Director was immediately notified and, in turn, contacted the maintenance leads. Upon further inspection, it was discovered that the AC unit had shut down across the entire building.

Maintenance reached out to BMI Mechanical Inc, who is the facility's HVAC service provider, who arrived on site to assess the situation. After evaluation, it was determined that the AC unit on the roof had been tampered with and the damage was beyond a quick repair. Given the rising temperatures and the unlikelihood of immediate resolution, the facility initiated the emergency evacuation procedures.

Program Directors from all sites were notified, and drivers were sent to the Center Creative Achievements (CAA) location to assist in transporting all individuals to three designated alternate locations. The following steps were taken:

24 individuals were safety transported to the Adult Enrichment Center (AEC) East building located at 3720 N.Sillect Ave. Bakersfield, CA

26 individuals were transported to Community Day Program (CDP) building located at 3400 N. Sillect Ave. Bakersfield, CA.

66 individuals were transported to The Blvd 3200 Buck Owens Blvd, Suite 300 Bakersfield, CA.

6 individuals were picked up directly from caregivers at their residences.

Designated staff from CCA site accompanied each group to maintain required staffing ratios. All residential homes were contacted. Lunches were appropriately distributed to each site, and all medications were sent with staff and Administrator accordingly. This entire process took approximately an hour.

9 portable AC units were brought into the building and observed throughout the facility during LPAs tour of the grounds. HVAC company was present at the facility today with an expected repair time of completion to be 06/20/25. LPA obtained facility roster, staff schedule, pictures of damaged unit from Program Director at the time of visit.
