Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Valeria Conway conducted a Case Management - Deficiencies visit in conjunction with a complaint visit (Complaint control # 29-AS-20251219104145.) LPA met with Administrator, Edna Dangiapo. The purpose of this report is to issue citations for deficiencies observed during the investigation.

During the course of the investigation, it was discovered that the central heating system was not functioning properly in the back portion of the house. Although the administrator stated that the heating system was working properly, interviews with staff and Resident #1 indicated that the system has been experiencing ongoing issues. Upon LPA’s request for the administrator to activate the heating system, LPA observed that the air supply duct at the far end of the house was not producing airflow or heat. This affected three (3) resident bedrooms and one (1) common area located in that section of the facility. While the administrator reported that a contractor had recently serviced the system, both staff and the administrator were unable to demonstrate how to set the heating system to automatically turn on and they are unaware on how to work the system. An interview conducted during today’s visit with an HVAC contractor revealed that the thermostats are not accurate and advised the administrator to set the temperature several degrees higher in order for the system to activate. Regarding the air supply duct not producing airflow in the back portion of the house, the contractor stated that a return visit will be necessary to further inspect and assess the issue.

Pursuant to Title 22, California Code of Regulations and/or CA Health and Safety Code, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC 809.) Administrator was informed that failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties.

Exit interview conducted, appeal rights discussed, and a copy of this report and appeal rights were provided.
