An unannounced Annual and infection control visit was done by David España, a Licensing Program Analyst (LPA). LPA España was met by Mrs Krista Lewis, Administrator, and the intent of the visit was explained. Today's visit was at a licensed facility to assist six people with developmentally disabled clients (i.e., Age range 18 through 59. approved for (6) ambulatory).

Currently, Mrs. Lewis stated the facility has reapplied to become a four (4) client facility (i.e., capacity). LPA España observed there were no clients as of 02/22/2023. LPA España was provided information about where they plan to receive clients, namely, the South Central Regional Center. LPA España observed a single-story building in a residential neighborhood. It features two bathrooms (one bathroom between bedrooms 1 and 2), a family room/dining area, a kitchen, a living room, covered space, indoor and outdoor storage facilities, and an attached garage.

LPA España and Mrs. Lewis conducted a physical facilities inspection. In client rooms, no bodies of water or firearms/ammunition exist. The mattresses and bedding were in acceptable condition, and adequate lighting and personal belongings items were not observed due to no client at this time. Both the walls and floors were in pristine shape. Sheets and a heater are located in the facility; however, there is no air conditioning. It was established that the restrooms complied with Title 22 regulations and were operational.
