Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Valeria Conway arrived at the facility unannounced to conduct a required annual visit at 11:00 A.M. At 11:30 A.M. LPA met with Program Director, Paul Figueroa and Shift Supervisor, Jennifer Benavides. Entrance interview conducted.

This facility is a two-story home. Beginning at 12:05 P.M., the LPA, along with the Program Director and Shift Supervisor, toured the physical plant areas inside and out. The facility does not maintain a surety bond, as the facility does not handle or retain residents’ cash funds. The following was observed.

BEDROOMS: There are three (3) bedrooms for shared-use. LPA observed client bedrooms, which were furnished appropriately with clean linens, appropriate furnishings and sufficient lighting. The bedrooms were large enough to allow for easy passage between the beds and furniture. Inside temperature was maintained at a comfortable level. There is no staff bedroom on premises – ‘awake night staff required’.

RESTROOMS: There is one (1) bathroom in the hallway for client use between Room #1 and Room #2. Room #3 has a shared bathroom in room. Client restrooms were clean, sanitary, and in operating condition with slip-resistant materials. Between 12:20 P.M. and 12:50 P.M., the hot water temperature was tested and was found to be within the range of 105 -120 degrees Fahrenheit.
