Follow-up on corrections·August 31, 2023

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jessica Cho continued the visit after delivering the findings into Complaint Control #: 22-AS-20230714131828. The purpose of this subsequent visit was to issue a citation after initially observing a deficiency on July 7, 2023 while conducting the complaint investigation in connection to Complaint Control #: 22-AS-20230630115900. LPA met with Administrator Leonora Cheryll Amorsolo and explained the reason for the case management visit. The following was reviewed: The purpose of this visit is to discuss new construction within the facility. On July 7, 2023, LPA discovered facility constructing a staff bedroom. Construction began on June 27, 2023 and was completed on July 10, 2023. As of today, facility now has five bedrooms instead of four. Licensees Janella Cervania and Karmian Calangi stated that the addition of the new staff bedroom was not reported to the Department prior to the construction. On today's date, facility is operating outside the limits of the approved fire clearance, therefore the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Admin will follow up with the Fire Marshall, or the local fire authority, to schedule a fire clearance for the addition of the new bedroom. A deficiency is being cited as per Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8 of the California Code of Regulations. See the attached LIC809D. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Leonora Amorsolo, and a copy of this report was sent electronically to Administrator Amorsolo at the end of the visit.
