Facility Evaluation Report

On 5/30/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Janette Romero made an unannounced visit to the facility to conduct a required annual inspection. LPA was greeted and granted entry by Caregiver, Jesus "David" Salvador who was informed of the purpose of the visit. Shortly after, Administrator Christopher Warner arrived to the facility to meet with LPA. The facility has a fire clearance to serve four (4) clients of which one (1) may be non-ambulatory. During today's visit, LPA also observed Staff 1 (S1), Staff 2 (S2), and four (4) clients present.

Upon arrival, LPA conducted a record review and discovered Caregiver Salvador is not associated to the facility. Upon further review, it was determined Caregiver Salvador does not currently possess a criminal record clearance or exemption to be able to work in the facility. Salvador's training records list his hire date as 3/10/2025. Upon learning the information, Warner immediately directed Caregiver Salvador to leave the facility until further notice and LPA observed Caregiver Salvador leave the premises. Warner reported they received a clearance letter for Caregiver Salvador from the Department's Caregiver Provider Management Branch. Warner reported administrative staff searched for the clearance letter in the facility's main office, but was unable to locate it during LPA's visit. Warner reported Caregiver Salvador will not return to work in the facility or visit the facility until they receive confirmation from the Department that Caregiver Salvador has been granted a criminal record clearance or exemption.

LPA toured the facility with Warner and observed the facility is made up of a one-story home with four (4) client bedrooms, two (2) restrooms, a kitchen, dining area, living room, laundry room, and attached garage. Indoor and outdoor pathways are free of obstructions. No bodies of water were observed on the premises. Client bedrooms were clean, had the required bedding, furniture, and lighting.
