Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA’s) Gabriela Castro conducted an unannounced required annual visit using the Compliance and Regulatory Enforcement (CARE) Tool. LPA was greeted by facility staff and explained the reason for the visit. Administrator Olayinka King arrived shortly thereafter.

The facility is approved for six (6) ambulatory clients only ages 18 to 59. All Clients residing at this facility receive case management services provided by San Gabriel Pomona Regional Center.

Personal Rights postings were observed in a common area. Residents had access to personal space, privacy, and adequate storage. No firearms/weapons were present.

The facility is a one-story residential home consisting of three (3) client bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room, living room, two (2) bathrooms (one of which is private), an attached garage with a washer and dryer, a detached backyard garage with an additional freezer, and a covered backyard patio. All three client bedrooms were furnished with the required items, including a bed with a clean mattress, linens, a dresser, a chair, and adequate lighting. The bedroom with the private restroom had a cracked window. A deficiency will be cited for the cracked window, as it requires repair to ensure the facility remains safe and in good repair. .Extra clean linens and towels were stored in hallway cabinets, and all bedroom furniture was observed to be in good condition. During the inspection, LPA observed missing knobs on kitchen drawers and noted that the kitchen cabinets required cleaning. Both bathrooms were equipped with toilets and showers. The hot water temperature measured 120°F in Bathroom (1) and 118.8°F in Bathroom (2), which is within the required range of 105°F to 120°F. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were tested and found to be operational. A fully charged fire extinguisher was observed near the kitchen. All exits were free of obstructions, and no bodies of water were present on the premises. The backyard provided shaded seating for clients. The attached garage contained a locked storage area for chemicals and knives. (Continued on 809C)
