The inspector’s account

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Angela Barutyan arrived at the facility announced at 10:30AM to conduct a required annual visit. The facility did not have any clients or staff on site upon arrival. LPA spoke with Operations Director (OD) Matthew Mueller telephonically who arrived at the facility with HR Director (HRD) Gregory Allen. LPA met with OD Mueller and HRD Allen at 11AM and explained the reason for the visit. Clinical Director Amarilys Reyes arrived to the facility at 11:26AM during the visit.

Due to conflicts between the Licensee and the property owner that directly impact the health and safety of clients, all client(s) have been relocated on 09/11/2024 to licensed facility 195850386 . The Licensee has removed required postings, fire extinguishers, lockboxes, and other operational requirements in the event that an agreement with the property owner cannot be reached and equipment cannot be accessed by the Licensee. OD Mueller informed the LPA that the facility does not anticipate accepting any clients in the foreseeable future until an agreement between the Licensee and property owner can be reached. Licensee is notified that any decision to cease operation at this location or to accept new clients shall be notified to the Department.

Beginning at 11:03AM, the LPA, along with the OD toured the physical plant areas inside and outside to ensure there are no health and safety hazards and that facility is in compliance with Title 22 Regulations. The following was observed:

The facility is currently vacant. Required postings, fire extinguishers, medication cabinet and cleaning closet locks, and furniture in common areas were missing. This does not pose a health or safety risk as there are no clients currently in care at this location. Hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were tested at 12:12PM and all were functional at the time of the visit.

COMMON AREAS: These include the Living Room, Dining Room, Great Room and Gym located on the ground floor and the Library and Movie Theater located on the second floor. LPA observed the living, dining, gym, and theater rooms to be appropriately furnished. LPA observed facility sketch posted throughout common areas. Report Continued on LIC 809-C
