LPA arrived unannounced and met with Staff, Luisa Larioza. The purpose of the visit was explained. The facility is licensed for (6) developmentally disabled clients, ages 18 - 59, of which 2 may be non-ambulatory in rooms #1 and #4. There are currently 6 clients residing at the home and were placed by the San Gabriel/Pomona Regional Center.

LPA toured the facility and conducted the following domains:

Infection Control: The facility staff are wearing gloves while assisting clients. Staff are cleaning and disinfecting at least once a day.

There are 5 bedrooms (4 for clients and 1 for staff), 2 bathrooms, living room, kitchen, and an attached garage. Each client bedroom has the required furniture and lighting. There is a shaded area in the backyard for client use. There are no items obstructing the walkways. The smoke detectors are located in each bedroom and a carbon monoxide detector in the hallway. Knives and cleaning supplies are locked in the kitchen cabinet. Additional cleaning solutions are stored in the cabinet inside the garage.
