Facility Evaluation Report

An informal conference was held virtually via Microsoft Teams on April 18, 2025. In attendance were Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Vincent Moleski, Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Stephen Richardson, licensee Rochelle Cister, her husband, Verne Cister, and their daughter, Veronica Cister.

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss recent organizational changes in the LLC which is the licensee of this facility, and another facility owned/operated by Rochelle and Verne Cister. The initial LIC 309 for this facility, dated 11/09/18, indicated that the licensee, Cisters Loving Care Home LLC, was owned entirely by Rochelle Cister and had no additional managing members. An amendment filed with the California Secretary of State shows that three new members -- Verne Cister, Veronica Cister, and another family member -- were added to the LLC as managing members as of 6/3/24. An updated LIC 309 for this facility dated 4/4/25 shows updated ownership percentages of 40% for Rochelle Cister, 40% for Verne Cister, and 20% between both of their daughters. This constitutes a majority change of ownership. Per HSC Section 1524(a), this is considered a forfeiture of license without an application for change of ownership submitted to the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD).

LPM Richardson requested that Rochelle Cister file an amendment with the Secretary of State removing all other managing members, and returning 100% control to her. Rochelle Cister agreed, and said she could provide CCLD with documentation showing this had occurred by Monday of next week. Any further changes to the organizational structure shall be communicated to CCLD and Alta California Regional Center and shall be accompanied by an application for a change of ownership as required. Rochelle Cister also agreed to receive a referral to the Technical Support Program. No deficiencies were cited during this meeting. An exit interview was held and a copy of this report was emailed to Rochelle Cister to sign.
