Facility Evaluation Report

On 03/12/2024 at approximately 1:45 p.m. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) attempted to deliver findings for the complaint received on 12/12/2023. LPA observed that the facility was under construction and no resident or staff were present during the time of visit.

LPA was greeted by the 3 floor installers. LPA tried to communicate with the workers on site. Due to language barrier LPA was not able to get a lot information from the workers.

On 3/12/2024 at approximately 2PM; LPA contacted administrator (ADM) Noel Huante. ADM confirmed that the residents and staff relocated temporarily in Watsonville since 3/10/24 while the facility is undergoing floor replacement.

ADM stated all responsible parties, family of the residents and regional center is aware of the floor renovation for the facility. ADM stated that they did not inform CCL and was not aware that they are required to do so.

During today's visit, LPA informed ADM that it is the duty and responsibility of the ADM/Licensee to notify and inform Community Care Licensing (CCL) about any such temporary relocation and disruption of their daily activity and fulfill all CCL requirements prior to planned relocation such as but not limited to date of relocation, length of time of construction/renovation.

During today's visit, a citation was issued based on CCR Title 22, and a technical assistance was provided to ADM. An exit interview was conducted with ADM Noel Huante and a signed copy of this report was provided.
