Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Ramirez conducted an unannounced Case Management Visit-

Incident on 08/15/2025, stemming from incident report dated 08/12/2025. LPA Ramirez identified herself

and was greeted by Administrator Joshua Lajara and explained the purpose of the visit.

On 8/14/2025, LPA Ramirez received an incident report alleging client#1 (C1) was sexually assaulted by

client#2 (C2) at the facility. This report revealed on 8/12/2025, at 12:40 am, C1 was overheard crying for

help in their shared bedroom. Staff#2 (S2) responded and C1 revealed to S2 that C2 was attempting to

sexually assault C1. S2 immediately verbally diffused the situation and assessed C1 for any wounds or

injuries. After confirming no visual injuries to C1 were sustained, C1 and C2 were separated and

questioned about the incident. Facility staff advised C1 and C2 to stay away from each other and staff

called the police about the incident. Lakewood sheriffs responded and interviewed C1, who later informed

the police that allegation was false and that C1 and C2 were having a verbal argument.
