Facility Evaluation Report

On 6/26/24 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Viarella made an announced visit to conduct a prelicensing inspection. LPA identified herself upon arrival, stated the purpose of the visit and asked to meet with the Designated Facility Administrator (DFA). LPA met with Jesse Suganob. No clients were residing at the facility at the time of inspection.

The DFA began the tour of the facility by showing the LPA that all medications and client files were stored in a locked closet to the left of the front entrance and adjacent to the dining room. The DFA provided the LPA with a sample of a client file and all was in order. The tour continued throughout this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home. All client rooms contained the required bed, chest of drawers, closet, and lighting to meet regulation requirements. All bedrooms had doors with locks to provide clients with privacy. Both bathrooms contained paper towels and soap and the hot water measured at 115.5 degrees Fahrenheit and was in compliance at the time of inspection.

LPA inspected the laundry room. All detergents and cleaners were under the sink in a locked cabinet. LPA observed enough linens and towels stored in the laundry room and in cabinets adjacent to the laundry room to meet the needs of future residents in care.

LPA inspected the kitchen and all knives and sharps were in a locked drawer and inaccessible to future clients. LPA observed enough cutlery, pots, pans, and cups for future residents. The refrigerator and pantry were stocked with enough perishable food for 2 days and non-perishable food for 7 days.

LPA observed sample menus for future residents posted on the refrigerator. All dish soap and cleansers were in a locked cabinet under the sink.

There were a total of 3 fire extinguishers: 1 in the kitchen, 1 in the hall, and 1 in the garage. All were inspected by Sacramento Fire Extinguisher Company on 01/19/24.
