Facility Evaluation Report

On 8/1/24, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Arvin Villanueva arrived unannounced to this facility to conduct a case management visit to follow up on an incident report submitted to the Department on 6/17/24. LPA met with Julie Agcaoili (ADM1) and Shirley Lewis (ADM2) and explained the purpose of the visit.

Incident Overview: On 6/17/24 , ADM1 received a report from client C1 alleging inappropriate physical contact by client C2. C2 admitted to the act of inappropriate touching. ADM1 immediately contacted Alta California Regional Center ACRC), the local Police Department and Adult Protective Services (APS) to file a formal report on the same day as procedure. Note that these incidents occurred during transportation.

Additional Information: On June 19, 2024, another client, C3, reported to ADM1 and ADM2 that they had witnessed C2 touching C1 inappropriately on multiple occasions. This additional information prompted ADM1 and ADM2 to consult with Alta California Regional Center (ACRC) representatives to determine the appropriate next steps for addressing the situation.

Background on Involved Parties: Interviews with ADM1 and ADM2 revealed that C2 has a history of inappropriate sexual behavior as reported by other family members, primarily involving text messaging and/or social media interactions. The physical act of inappropriate touching reported in this incident was new information to them. It was noted that C2 had previously attended classes on healthy relationships, and all involved parties were aware of C2’s behavioral history.

Documentation Review: During the visit, the Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) reviewed the client files for C1 and C2, including their annual Individual Service Plan (ISP) and Individual Program Plan (IPP). The review indicated that C2 did not have a documented history of inappropriate physical contact.
