Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marisela Garcia-Centeno conducted an unannounced Required Annual Inspection. The facility file was reviewed prior to the visit. LPA identified herself and was granted entry by Caregiver Irma Sunga. LPA explained the purpose of the visit to House Manager Jessica Enriquez.

The facility is licensed for a maximum capacity of six (6) residents, age 60 and above, with one (1) bedridden resident permitted in Room #5 only. At the time of inspection, five (5) residents were in care, including one (1) ambulatory resident. Three (3) residents were present in the facility, and two (2) were out in the community. The facility does not have delayed egress devices or a secured perimeter.

LPA toured the interior and exterior of the facility with Caregiver Sunga. Resident rooms were inspected and found to contain the required furnishings. Pathways were free of obstructions and slip hazards. The facility was clean, well-maintained, and in good repair. Doors, toilets, and showers were operational. Adequate hygiene supplies and extra linens were available. Sufficient space and equipment were observed for dining, laundry, visitation, meetings, and resident activities. Indoor temperature and refrigerator/freezer temperatures were within the regulatory range.

During the inspection, LPA measured the hot water temperature at 130.5°F, which was not within the Title 22 regulatory range for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs). Staff adjusted the temperature during the visit to bring it into compliance.
