Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Javina George arrived at the facility unannounced to conduct a health and safety check. LPA was greeted and granted entry by Administrator Steven Rajadas. LPA George explained the purpose of the visit. At 12:48pm upon LPA walking up the facility walk way. LPA observed the that the facility perimeter gates are secured with a lock that is typically used for locking up bikes. LPA George spoke with Administrator's Steven Rajadas whom stated that due there being an incident a couple of weeks ago, with a resident walking out of the gate and refusing to come back, the combination lock was placed on the fence. Administrator stated that the lock is used to promote safety and to prevent the resident's from wandering and getting hit by a car. The facility does have an approved dementia care plan. However LPA the facility's fire clearance dated 10/28/2014 does not state that the facility is approved for a secured perimeter, the facility did not request a waiver to have a secured perimeter. Therefore a deficiency will be cited according to California Code of Regulations. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report and appeal rights was provided to Administrator's Steven Rajadas.
