Facility Evaluation Report

On 11/25/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Janette Romero made an unannounced case management visit to follow up with the facility regarding the fire that occurred in the home on 9/24/2024. LPA met with Executive Director (ED), Kecia Stinnett who was informed of the purpose of the visit. ED reported all the clients previously residing in the home were immediately and appropriately relocated. LPA toured the facility with ED and observed fire debris and black smoke damage to the outside wall and self latching door located on the right side of the home near the garage. ED reported currently, the home is not habitable since there is no electricity or gas available at the facility (only water) due to the fire damage. ED added there is also a strong smoke odor lingering throughout the home and the facility requires several permits and repairs before it is safe for clients to return to the home. ED reported the cause of the fire is currently under investigation and the extent of the damages are unknown. ED added any updates they receive will be provided to the Department. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was reviewed and provided to ED.
