Facility Evaluation Report, 01/30/2025 — Emerald Home, Elk Grove CA

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Vincent Moleski arrived unannounced to conduct an annual inspection. LPA Moleski met with facility administrator Bayarmaa Ragchaa and explained the purpose of the visit.

LPA Moleski reviewed four resident files (R1-R4) and three staff files (S1-S3). LPA Moleski reviewed an LIC 500 for this facility, current as of today's date, 1/30/25. The LIC 500 listed two staff members (S2 and S3) as live-in staff on the weekends. LPA Moleski reviewed this facility's sketch, and observed that there are no staff bedrooms present in the facility, and the only bedrooms present are designated as private resident bedrooms. LPA Moleski asked Ragchaa and S1 where the facility's live-in staff sleep on the weekends. Ragchaa and S1 both said that the live-in staff sleep on separate couches, one located in the facility's living room, and the other located in a common area adjacent to the main entryway. Ragchaa said that this arrangement has been in place since S2 and S3 started working at this facility in September 2024.

LPA Moleski toured the facility with Ragchaa and inspected common areas, the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, and backyard areas. Furniture and furnishings were sufficient to meet the needs of residents. The facility temperature was 72 degrees Fahrenheit, which is within the required range of 68 and 85 degrees.
