Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nadia Shahbazian conducted an unannounced Required - 1 Year annual inspection visit. LPA met with Alice Flores Program Manager and explained the purpose of the visit. The Adult Day Program (ADP) is licensed for 40 ambulatory Developmentally Disabled Adults, ages 18 and above; seven (7) of whom may be non-ambulatory. There are 27 clients currently attending the program, six (6) of whom are non-ambulatory. The program does not manage medications or meals, but does provide snacks; the clients bring their own lunch to the day program. The program is vendorized through the North Los Angeles Regional Center.

LPA toured the facility with the Program Manager at 10:25 am and observed the following:

The facility is a two-story structure, owned by Saint Alphonsa Catholic Church. The church has a separate detached building, next to the day program. There is a shared parking lot for both buildings. There is a chapel on the first floor which is inaccessible to the day program. A locked gate leads to second floor; the entire second floor is for church use only and is inaccessible to the day program. The Program building consists of a reception area, two offices, three storage rooms, two kitchens, 4 bathrooms (1 for staff and 3 for clients) and an inside shaded-patio.

The program runs from 9am-3pm. Clients arrive at the front and a designated staff member screens all participants and visitors. The front entry is used as the main exit but there is a side exit as well. The program site is clean, sanitary, and in good condition, all furnishings are in good repair with ample lighting.
