Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 12/19/23, at 09:30am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Gina Saucedo and Tihesha Smith arrived at the facility to conduct an unannounced, initial complaint visit and was greeted by a staff. Administrator, Arsen Der-Aprahamian arrived later. LPA’s requested the census, staff, and resident files. Regarding the allegation: Staff do not accord reasonable level of privacy to residents in care. It is alleged that there is a camera in the room on top of the table or sometimes on top of the dresser. At 10:05 am, LPA's conducted the physical tour and observed a camera to be in Resident #1 (R1) and Resident #2 (R2)'s room on top of the dresser. Therefore, based on LPA's observations there is a preponderance of evidence to substantiate the above allegation(s). Per the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, deficiency is cited on the attached LIC-9099D. An exit interview was conducted, citation given, appeal rights, and a copy of this report was given to the administrator.
