Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst(LPA) Christine Yee conducted an unannounced required Annual Inspection using the complete CARE Inspection Tool and was eventually let into the home by Yvette Feniquito, Administrator at 10:08am. The reason for today's visit was explained.

The facility is a single family home consisting of a living room, dining room, a kitchen, 4 bedrooms, a staff room, 2 full bathrooms and a detached garage. The home was originally fire cleared for 6 AMBULATORY residents. A wall was added to bedroom #4 to create a fifth bedroom for staff use. No permits were obtained to add the wall and no new fire clearance was requested. However, the Licensee did obtain a letter from the Department of Building and Safety indicating that a permit and a new fire clearance was not needed and signed by Engineer Robert T. Mayer. A copy of this letter was obtained on today's visit. The facility is vendorized by the North Los Angeles County Regional Center

The following domains were reviewed on today's visit due to time constraints:
