Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Natasha Persaud conducted an unannounced Case Management - Other visit. LPA was greeted and allowed entry into the facility by Licensee, Josephine Tayaba. Today's visit was regarding a fire clearance request submitted to the the San Diego Fire Prevention Authority requesting a change in Non-Ambulatory status. On 06/13/25, the San Diego Fire Prevention Authority approved all bedrooms for Non-ambulatory use, exits from bedrooms must be kept clear at all times. The facility is now licensed for six (6) Non-Ambulatory residents. During the tour of the facility, a resident was residing in bedroom #3, which was a staff bedroom, not approved for resident use. The licensee explained they spoke with the Fire Marshall and assumed it was okay to move the resident to a staff bedroom. LPA requested the resident in bedroom #3 be moved to an approved non-ambulatory resident room. However, the licensee stated they needed time to relocate the resident to an approved room. In addition, the licensee stated they will be making more changes to the facility regarding staff and resident bedrooms. The licensee was instructed to submit a new facility sketch. Today, a civil penalty was assessed for a fire clearance violation. The licensee was made aware the civil penalty will be ongoing until the resident is relocated to the appropriate room. There were no health or safety concerns identified during the visit. A deficiency was issued, along with a civil penalty. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report along with Licensee Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided to Licensee, Josephine Tayaba whose signature below confirms receipt of these rights.
