Complaint Investigation Report

Despite being aware that they could not operate over their licensed capacity, the facility admitted R1 before receiving the necessary fire clearance and license update. The Department was aware of the fire clearance issue in May 2024; however, R1 was no longer in care at the time of discovery. On May 9, 2025, the facility was officially granted an increase in capacity to seven. Health and Safety Code 87204 (a) cited for the deficiency.

Based on the information obtained, the allegation that the facility operated over capacity is substantiated, as there is a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation occurred. An exit interview was conducted; a copy of this report, along with Licensee Appeal Rights LIC 9058 (REV 3/22), was provided to the Licensee, and his signature confirms receipt of these documents.
