The inspector’s account

On 8/7/2026 at 9:10AM , Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Eldin Serrano conducted an investigation regarding an incident involving Client #1 (C1). Based on staff interviews and documentation, at approximately 12:15 a.m . , C1 gained access to a locked safe located in the facility office, obtained the facility vehicle keys, and drove the facility vehicle off the property without authorization. Staff contacted law enforcement. C1 later returned the vehicle to the facility, and responding Sheriff personnel attempted to locate the keys but were unsuccessful. The Deputy informed staff that if the client attempted to remove the vehicle again, the client would be subject to immediate arrest.

The facility later notified management staff regarding the incident; however, interviews and review of the event indicated lapses in both supervision and facility property security.

Client access to secured keys, removal of the facility vehicle, and law enforcement involvement represent significant safety concerns and indicate that the facility did not ensure proper protection of facility property nor adequate supervision necessary to prevent unsafe actions by clients.

Based on the information gathered, the LPA determined the facility was in violation of Title 22 regulations related to Title 22, Section 85065 (b)– Personnel Requirements

An exit interview was conducted where this report was reviewed, discussed, and then provided to licensee Dina Karamoy.
