Pre-licensing visit·July 23, 2025

On 07/23/2025 at 1:30 PM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Triel Ellen Lindstrom arrived at the facility for an announced pre-licensing inspection. The LPA was greeted by the Administrator and applicant listed on the LIC 200. An interview and tour of the facility followed. The applicant accompanied the LPA on the tour. This facility is a three-bedroom, three-bathroom residential house that has been cleared for six non-ambulatory residents by the Sacramento City Fire Department Fire Prevention Division on 1/9/2024. The LPA toured the inside of the house, including three resident bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room, family room, staff room, storage, office, and garage. The entire house was very clean, odor-free, and pest-free. Each bedroom will be double occupancy. Each bedroom had the required furniture and closet space for personal belongings. The windows and window screens were in good repair. There were three full bathrooms. The two hallway bathrooms were for resident use. They were clean, have grab bars, and non-slip mats. The water at a resident bathroom sink measured one hundred thirty-nine degrees Fahrenheit, outside of the required range. The LPA observed that the temperature in the house was set at 76 degrees Fahrenheit. There were six smoke detectors that were interconnected, including in each bedroom and the hallways. There was one carbon monoxide detector. The applicant tested the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors -they were all operable and sounded an alarm. The fire extinguisher was in an upper cabinet in the kitchen, clearly visible behind a glass pane. It was last serviced on 01/02/2025 by Jorgensen Co. There were nightlights in the hallway and non-private bathrooms. The LPA toured the kitchen. The kitchen was clean, the appliances were operable, and the trash can had a lid on it. There was no food stocked yet, but the applicant stated her understanding that a seven-day non-perishable and two-day perishable supply of food is required. Food will be in the refrigerator/freezer, cabinets, and pantry in the kitchen, as well as an extra freezer in the garage. Sharps were in a locked drawer operated by a magnetic lock. The LPA toured the dining room, living room, and family room which contained enough furniture for all residents, including a dining table and chairs and two couches. The rooms were spacious, clean, and lit by natural light. There was room to accommodate residents’ personal recliners as well. The facility had identified activities for its monthly schedule and planned to incorporate resident preferences as well. The LPA toured the laundry room and the garage. Laundry detergent, household cleaners, and extra bedding were kept in locked cabinets in the locked laundry room. The garage was also used for storage of extra food and household supplies. The LPA toured the back yard, which contained a grassy area and concrete patio. The concrete walkways and patio are free of obstruction and the surrounding fence is intact and sturdy. There were latching side gates on either side of the house. The grassy area contained overgrown vegetation, and the backyard lacked a shaded activity area for residents. There were extra building supplies leaning against the side of the house. The LPA inspected the central medication storage area. Residents’ medication will be kept in a locked cabinet in the desk area in the kitchen. There were bins for each resident’s medication and a lock box for controlled medication. There was a binder with a paper-based medication administration record. The LPA observed that the applicant had blank resident records ready in a binder. The Administrator had her Administrator certificate (#6073762740, valid through 12/19/2026) and a criminal background clearance. The hot water was 139 degrees Fahrenheit. The backyard had overgrown vegetation, no shaded activity area, and building supplies leaning against the side of the house. As a result of these things, the facility did not pass today's pre-licensing inspection. LPA Lindstrom will return to the facility when the corrections have been made. The applicant was informed to call LPA Lindstrom when the correction has been completed.
