LPA met with Executive Director Alma Peralta, Interviewed staff and residents, toured the building and reviewed records. LPA received copies of documents. Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, a former staff who was visiting with residents in the dining room was escorted from the building.

This policy violates Health and Safety code, preventing residents to have visitors of their choosing and without prior notice.

Deficiencies are cited from the California Code of Regulations (CCRs), and/or the Health and Safety Code.
