Facility Evaluation Report

On this date, 01/12/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Renee Campbell and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Lisa Rios, met with Jessica Villasenor, Program Team Lead (PTL) and Vartan Hekimian, Facility Administrator (FA) on Microsoft Teams at the licensee’s request for the purpose of establishing an open line of communication in order to work collaboratively with the CCLD.

The FA started the meeting by describing to LPA Campbell and LPM Rios the type of facilities he runs and the clients he serves. The residents at this facility would otherwise be or have been incarcerated. They all exhibit some type of undesirable behaviors and the FA wanted to make it understood during the meeting that the 1:1.7 ratio and resident and staff Safety Plan was of upmost priority. The Facility Administrator stated that at this time he provides a 1:1.7 ratio. However, his contractual ratio with the regional center is 1:2.5.”

LPA Campbell and LPM Rios understood and explained that while undesired behaviors couldn’t be prevented that as long as staff was aware of incidents, documented incidents, reported incidents, and Safety Plans were followed then inquiries and investigations would take all into consideration.

A copy of this report has been emailed to the FA for signature.
