Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Arian Golbakhsh conducted an unannounced Case Management visit to the facility. LPA was welcomed by, identified themselves to, and discussed the purpose of the visit to Executive Director Donelle Williams. The purpose of today's visit was to consult with the facility on their policies pertaining to video surveillance.

Community Care Licensing (CCL) received recent inquiries on whether the facility can prohibit residents from placing video surveillance devices in their own private units, as outlined in the admissions agreement.

During today's visit, LPA conducted file review of the facility's admissions agreement and consulted with Executive Director Williams. While current Title 22 regulations don't outright prohibit a facility from having such policies pertaining to the use of personal cameras by residents, resident's still have the right to do so should they wish, granted they follow general guidelines to protect privacy for all involved (including but not limited to, having a sign/notification of video recording in progress, no use of audio recording, and devices only being in/showing private resident areas). LPA provided consultation on possible updates to the facility's policies on the topic.

No Deficiencies were cited during today's visit. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Williams to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058) were provided. Their signature below confirms receipt of these documents.
