The inspector’s account

On June 16, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Brandon Lopez made an unannounced visit to the facility to conduct a Case Management - Annual Continuation inspection. LPA was greeted and granted entry into the facility by staff after explaining the purpose for the visit. Executive Director (ED) Melvin Galloway was present and assisted on today's visit.

During today's visit, LPA reviewed four staff files. All staff are background cleared and associated to the facility. However, LPA observed that Staff #3 (S3) did not have sufficient annual training hours for the year of 2025. Per Health & Safety Code 1569.625(b)(2), all direct care staff shall receive twenty hours of annual training of which consist of eight hours in dementia care, and four hours shall be in postural supports, restricted health conditions, and hospice care. LPA observed that S3 only received one hour of training in dementia care in 2025, and did not receive any training in postural supports, restricted health conditions, or hospice care.

Based on the observations made during today's visit, a deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC809-D page. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Melvin Galloway. A copy of the report and appeal rights were provided to the facility at time of visit.
