All cleaning equipments were stored in the laundry room. Both exit gates were self-closing and self-latching. There was sufficient seating under a patio lattice. LPA observed the food menu, activity calendars, theft and loss policy, admission agreement, and emergency plans were posted.

Component III was waived because Applicant has other licensed facilities and has already completed Component III. It appears that this facility meets the requirements for licensure.
