Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Erik Gonzalez Campos arrived unannounced on 11/4/2022 at approximately 9:30 AM to conduct an initial complaint inspection regarding the allegation that facility staff do not maintain a comfortable room temperature for residents in care. LPA met with Licensee/Administrator Babita Dhawan. Upon entering the facility into the main lobby LPA observed a thermostat reading 72 degrees which meets the regulation of a minimum of 68 degrees. Further into the facility LPA observed another thermostat which read 70 degrees which also meets the regulation of a minimum of 68 degrees. LPA observed a third thermostat which was reading 65 degrees which is not within regulation. The facility has space heaters available to heat resident rooms and a plan to fix heating issue in facility. LPA observed the thermostat with the low reading increase at the end of the inspection. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8), is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Appeal Rights Given. Exit interview conducted with licensee/administrator. Reports emailed to licensee.
