Incident investigation·November 24, 2025

This unannounced Case Management – Incident inspection is being conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sean Haddad for the purpose of following up on a self-reported incident report received in the Orange County Regional Office (OCRO) on November 7, 2025, regarding Resident #1 (R1). LPA met with Administrator (AD) Brisseth Arrellano and explained the reason for today’s inspection. During today’s inspection, LPA inspected the facility, interviewed AD and residents, and requested and reviewed copies of the resident roster, staff roster, and R1’s property log. Per the incident report received in the OCRO on November 7, 2025, on November 6, 2025, R1 reported $850 in cash missing from their room and believes a certain staff took it. LPA interviewed AD who stated they investigated the situation, were unable to confirm that the money was ever present in R1’s room, questioned staff who denied taking the money, and searched the belongings of the accused staff and confirmed the money was not in the staff’s possession. Per AD, the facility reported the missing money to the police on November 6, 2025, but the police did not investigate. LPA reviewed R1’s property log which does not document the money. LPA interviewed R1 who stated the missing money was over $1,000, they believe they now have evidence proving a certain staff took the money, and they will share this evidence with the police in the near future. The information obtained did not corroborate that the money was present in R1’s room as stated and the information obtained regarding the alleged theft is conflicting. AD stated they will provide an update to LPA on December 8, 2025, regarding any new developments. There were no deficiencies observed in the areas inspected. Based on the observations made during today’s inspection, no deficiencies are being cited per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was discussed with and provided to facility representative.
