LPA conducted an interview with a Licensee during the visit. The Licensee confirmed that there was a remaining balance for the staff, however, the Licensee stated that he initiated a payment for the remaining wages to the staff on May 9, 2026. CONTINUED ON LIC809-C LPA also conducted an interview with the landlord of the property, Witness #1 (W1), during the visit.

As of today, LPA has also not received the full extent of the financial documents that were requested during a visit to the facility conducted on April 13, 2026. Based on the observations made during today's visit, a deficiency will be recited on the attached LIC809-D page and a technical violation will be issued.
