The inspector’s account

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rose Ruppert made an unannounced visit to conduct a Case Management Health Check. LPA was greeted and granted entry by the Administrator (AD), Eleazar "Eli" Cuyson at 8:20am. LPA explained to AD the purpose of the visit.

The facility temperature was 72 degrees. Upon touring the kitchen LPA observed the refrigerator had two-days of perishable supplies and the freezers and pantry had seven days of non-perishable supplies on-hand. LPA measured two of two resident bathroom temperatures which ranged from 106.7 to 110.3 degrees Fahrenheit. All utilities were operational and have not been shut off. LPA observed one of three residents getting a daily bed bath, and two of three residents sleeping during the visit.

LPA interviewed three of three staff. Three of three staff confirmed they were fully paid on Saturday, March 21, 2026 for the pay period of 2/19-3/18/2026. It was shared that staff will now be paid weekly and the next pay period will be from 3/19-3/25/2026 and will be paid on April 1st. Three of three staff confirmed no back pay is owed. Staffing is adequate at this time.

A Technical Advisory has been provided regarding the facility's water heater. Currently the water heater resides in an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) with a separate address. Licensees (LE) were advised to provide a dedicated water heater to 23981 Gowdy Ave., or to include the ADU on 23697 Dune Mear to the facility's fire clearance. LEs and AD were also informed that tenants in the ADU, if under the facility plan, will need to be fingerprinted.

Based on the observations made during today’s visit, the facility appears to be in compliance with Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations, no deficiencies cited on this date. An exit interview was conducted with AD Cuyson and a copy of the report and LIC 9102-TA were given at the time of the visit.
