Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Dang Nguyen conducted an unannounced Case Management - Other visit. LPA was welcomed by, identified himself to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with DSP Dario Gonzalez. LPA also spoke with Administrator Raquel Garcia via phone during the visit.

Today's visit was in response to a 30-day written eviction notice, which Licensee served to Client #1 (C1) on 05/12/2023. [See LIC 811 Confidential Names List for a description of C1]. Licensee also sent a copy of this eviction notice to the CCLD San Diego Regional Office (RO).

During today’s visit, LPA performed a brief facility tour, reviewed pertinent care and administrative records, and interviewed relevant staff. As of the date of CCLD’s visit, C1 was no longer a resident of the facility. Per staff interview, C1 moved out on 06/05/2023.

According to the written eviction notice, C1 was being evicted for making “false statements” against staff. However, this is not one of the approved reasons that a client can be evicted from an ARF facility (per Regulations 80068.5 and 85068.5). Even if C1 made “false statements,” this did not violate the facility’s written “House Rules” or Admissions Agreement, which C1 signed. Licensee’s eviction notice to C1 also did not include “specific facts including the date, place, witnesses, and circumstances,” as was required.

According to staff interviews: on 06/05/2023, C1 initiated a physical altercation against Staff #1 (S1), which resulted in 911 being called and C1 being arrested. While C1 was at jail, their San Diego Regional Center case manager made arrangements to remove C1’s belongings from the facility, and for C1 to live at another facility upon their release. C1 thus effectively moved out of Abigail’s Homes II on 06/05/2023.
