Facility Evaluation Report
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sabrina Calzada and Ombudsman, Byron Toliver, arrived unannounced to follow up on recent concerns and an incident report and meeting notes submitted to the Department regarding resident (R1). LPA and the Ombudsman met with Karen Padilla, Director of Nursing, and Kayla Peria, Director of Care and Admissions, and stated the reason for the inspection. The following was discussed:
The facility managers stated that (R1's) room was never searched without their permission and that on one occasion, (R1) granted the facility and local law enforcement permission to do so, after the reason was explained. LPA reminded the facility cannot search a resident's room and property, due to the resident's personal rights; however, law enforcement can be contacted, if there are concerns in the future.
The Department was provided with a copy of meeting notes for a meeting held on February 3, 2026 with (R1) and several facility managers. The notes state that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss recent incidents which violate the facility's House Rules, which (R1) acknowledged. (R1) stated they would be moving to another location and submitted this request in writing. (R1) moved from the facility the following day, February 4, 2026.
(R1's) prior roommate, (R2), was interviewed during today's inspection. (R2) indicated that they have never observed the facility to search (R1's) belongings while rooming together.
It appears the facility followed the proper protocols and acted appropriately in discussing their concerns timely with (R1). There are no citations issued in this report.
