Facility Evaluation Report

This unannounced Case Management – Incident inspection is being conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sean Haddad for the purpose of concluding the investigation into the self-reported incident report received in the Orange County Regional Office (OCRO) on November 7, 2025, regarding Resident #1 (R1). LPA met with Staff #1 (S1) Ted Dawit and explained the reason for today’s inspection. Administrator (AD) Brisseth Arrellano appeared via telephone.

During today’s inspection, LPA inspected the facility and interviewed AD.

Per the incident report received in the OCRO on November 7, 2025, on November 6, 2025, R1 reported $850 in cash missing from their room and believes a certain staff took it. LPA previously interviewed AD and R1, and reviewed R1’s property log, and the information obtained did not corroborate that the money was present in R1’s room as stated and the information obtained regarding the alleged theft was conflicting, but R1 claimed they had recently found evidence proving a certain staff took the money, and stated that they would share this evidence with the police in the near future. LPA interviewed AD who stated that the police reviewed this new evidence on November 25, 2025, were unable to determine whether the money was present in R1’s room as stated, determined that the money was lost and not stolen, and will not investigate the matter further.

There were no deficiencies observed in the areas inspected. Based on the observations made during today’s inspection, no deficiencies are being cited per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was discussed with and provided to facility representative.
