The inspector’s account

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Esther Cortez arrived at the Adult Day Program (ADP) unannounced to conduct a required annual visit at 09:45 a.m. The LPA met with Administrator Kathleen “Katie” Gomez and explained the reason for the visit. The program currently operates from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The day program was staffed with 1:3 staff to consumer ratios.

Starting at 10:15 a.m., the LPA and the Administrator toured the physical plant to ensure there are no health and safety hazards and facility is in compliance with Title 22 Regulations. The smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors were tested throughout the tour and were operational. Cleaning supplies are stored in a locked area.

Common Activity Space : Furnishings were observed to be in good condition. The facility has two large activity spaces, a dining room, and a craft room. The LPA observed the required postings throughout the facility as well as the monthly activity schedule. The program site appeared to be clean, safe, sanitary, and in good repair at this time. The LPA observed fire extinguishers throughout the facility, which were last serviced 06/17/2025.

Activities: Activities are both designed for individual and as a group. Activity supplies were observed in the large activity room.

Restrooms : The three restrooms were observed to be clean and sanitary with a hand soap and paper towels. However, the men's restroom had a malodorous odor. The hot water temperature in the three restrooms were tested at 10:37 a.m., 10:41 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. and they measured at 104.5, 105.4, and 106.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Upon observation water temperature was adjusted in one of the restrooms. Report will continue on LIC809-C, 2nd page.
