On 11/20/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Pang Lee arrived, announced, to conduct a Pre-Licensing Visit. LPA met with Applicant Saima Ali and Mobussar Ali and explained the purpose of the visit. This Pre-Licensing inspection was conducted due to a change of ownership. The current census is zero. A brief interview with Applicant Saima Ali and Mobussar Ali was conducted. The facility is a single-story home with a fire clearance for six (6) non-ambulatory residents. Upon arrival, LPA observed a ramp at the front entrance that did not have handrails. LPA advised the applicant that a sturdy handrail should be installed for resident health and safety. Dining areas, living areas, and other resident-use areas were toured. LPA reviewed the facility sketch dated 10/09/2025 and confirmed that it aligns with the physical plant, both interior and exterior. LPA observed that the Complaint Poster (Pub 475) was not in the required size of 20" x 26" and informed the applicant of the size requirement. A kitchen tour was conducted. LPA observed a sufficient supply of food, including at least a 2-day supply of perishable items and a 7-day supply of non-perishable items. Knives were locked and inaccessible to residents. The pantry was also inspected; additional non-perishable food supplies were stored there. A locked centrally stored medication cabinet was located inside a kitchen cabinet. The First Aid Kit was present and contained all required components. The smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are in compliance with fire safety. A fire extinguisher was located in the dining room and is serviced and valid through 10/30/2026.
