Complaint Investigation Report

According to the allegation, C1 was taken to the hospital on March 14, 2026 and cleared the next day on March 15, 2026 and the facility refused to accept C1 back due to concerns about their behavior. The reporting party also stated that the facility failed to provide C1 with a 30 day notice.

During LPA unannounced visit on March 23, 2026, LPA observed C1 at the facility. Interview with facility staff reported they did accept C1 back from the hospital on March 15, 2026. Records reviewed and staff interviews revealed that staff did issue a 30 day notice to C1 dated March 2, 2026. However, the 30 day notice provided to C1 was unlawful as proper eviction procedures were not followed as the Department was not notified within five days of written notice being provided to C1.

The Department has investigated the allegations that C1 was unlawfully evicted and based upon the information obtained during this investigation, it is determined that the preponderance of evidence was met to support or corroborate this allegation and therefore deemed substantiated. One deficiency is being cited per Title 22 California Code of Regulations (see attached 9099-D page). A plan of correction was jointly developed with the Administrator. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Rami Brikho, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee’s Rights (LIC9058 01/16) were provided.
