Facility Evaluation Report

On June 3, 2025 at 8:00am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Eboni Bentley arrived unannounced for the purpose of conducting the Required 1 Year Annual Inspection. LPA met with Administrator (AD) Sarah Paul and was granted entry to the facility.

Currently there are no clients in care during today's visit. AD Paul indicated that there are no clients under care due to Orange County Regional Center not vendoring the facility.
