Routine inspection·April 9, 2025

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Samer Haddadin conducted an unannounced visit to perform a required annual inspection. Upon arrival, LPA was greeted by Administrator (AD) Brian Estorba and was granted entry into the facility. LPA explained the purpose of the visit, and the inspection proceeded with AD accompanying LPA throughout the tour of the facility’s interior and exterior areas. Observations: The facility is a one-story house with a 2 car garage with 5 bedrooms (1 is for staff), 3 bathrooms, dining room/living room, and a kitchen. Resident bedrooms were furnished with a bed, chair, clean linens, and adequate storage space, and were free of tripping hazards. Safety equipment, including manual smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and exit alarms, was tested and confirmed operational. Bathrooms were in good condition, equipped with grab bars. LPA found chemicals supplies in bathroom 1 under the sink and chemicals were accessible to residents in care. Furthermore, LPA checked hot water and was measured at 133. 6°F. The kitchen was clean and in good repair, however cleaning supplies and sharp objects were on the kitchen counter and in plain view with immediate access to residents in care. Also, LPA observed Medication cabinet in the kitchen unlocked and unsecure. The facility maintained a minimum two-day supply of perishable food and a seven-day supply of non-perishable food, meeting regulatory standards. The fire extinguisher was inspected, with the last service date recorded as March 22nd, 2025. Exterior: the facility did not have any outdoor furniture, nor shaded area for residents to practice any activity. LPA noticed the emergency exits to be blocked by extra storge items which put the safety of residents in jeopardy. The grass was not maintained nor had been cut. LPA checked the garage and could not perform the inspection due to it being used as storge and items were in boxes stacked 6-feet high all around and in the middle of the garage. LPA reviewed three resident files and their corresponding medications, noting no discrepancies. Similarly, two staff files were examined, with all required documentation present and no issues identified. Facility records confirmed facility was not in compliance with quarterly fire drills, in which an advisory note was issued. Findings: Based on the above observation made today, 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 and appeal rights provided to AD at end of inspection.
