LPA inspected the five resident bedrooms and observed them to be free of hazards. LPA observed the lights in each of the resident's bedroom to be operational. LPA inspected the five bathrooms located in the facility. LPA observed bathrooms to be clean. Bathrooms are equipped with grab bars and non-skid floor mats. However, LPA observed that there was no water in the facility, including in the bathrooms or in the kitchen. The Licensee confirmed during the visit that the water had been shut off by their water company. LPA reviewed the facility's water bill dated May 27, 2026, which stated that the facility had a past due balance in their water bill in the amount of $1,533.65. LPA conducted a tour of the kitchen area. LPA observed kitchen appliances to be clean and operational. LPA observed the six burner gas stove lights unassisted.

LPA conducted interviews with the Licensee and one staff during the visit. The Licensee stated that he is planning or relocating residents back into the facility by the end of June 2026. The one staff interviewed stated that they do not have any current issues with their pay. CONTINUED ON LIC809-C On today's visit, LPA consulted with the Licensee regarding his obligations under Health and Safety Code Sections 1569.38(b)(1) and 1569.38(e), due to his ongoing legal proceedings with the Community Care Licensing Division. The Licensee was advised to follow these requirements once they admit residents in the future. Based on the observations made during today's visit, a deficiency will be cited on the attached LIC809-D page and a civil penalty will be assessed. The Licensee will be issued a civil penalty for a repeat violation in the amount of $250.00, since the Licensee was previously issued a citation for California Code of Regulation Title 22 Section 87303(e)(2) on February 4, 2026. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee Allen Medina. A copy of the report and appeal rights were provided at time of visit.
