Pre-licensing visit·April 23, 2026

At 1:30 pm on 4/23/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Haner-Tomasko arrived at the scheduled time to conduct the facilities pre-licensing inspection. LPA met with Licensee/Administrator Analyn Estoque announced who he is and the reason for the visit. Licensee and LPA conducted a full tour of the facility. This facility is a single story residential home with six resident bedrooms and five full bathrooms (three are en-suite and two for shared/public use). LPA noted upon entering the front door, the facility has a small lobby with administrative office. Beyond the lobby is a central great room containing a living room with seating and TV for residents and visitors. The living room also has a fireplace with protective barrier for resident safety. Off the living room is a wheelchair ramp leading to bedroom #1 and from there resident bedroom #2 is up two steps and designated by fire clearance as ambulatory only. Also off the living room up another wheelchair accessible ramp or three steps gives access to the other four resident bedrooms, two public bathrooms, a dining room, and the kitchen. LPA noted bedrooms #1, and 3-6 also have exterior doors leading to the backyard. All bedrooms have required furnishings and lighting. Access to the laundry area and garage is through a locked door for resident safety. LPA noted that the backyard has seating and shade for residents and visitors. There is also a locked storage shed in the backyard. The facility has battery operated smoke detectors in each bedroom that are all working, the carbon monoxide detector is in the living room and functioning normally. LPA observed a fire extinguisher near the living room that was tagged current and in the green compression range, serviced on 2/16/2026. LPA noted two tank water heaters deliver water to the faucets in this facility, LPA tested facility hot water at 113.5 and 118.6°F, within regulation temperatures 105-120°F. LPA noted that the facility is clean and in good repair with no obstructions in hallways, doorways or exits. A locking cabinet for medication and record storage is in the dining room. The facility has a full first aid kit and new sharps container. (Continued on LIC809-C) LPA noted during the tour most exterior exit doors and the perimeter gates do not have audible devices to monitor them and this licensee plans to accept/retain residents diagnosed with dementia. Outside the front door is a concrete ramp to the driveway beyond the ramp the concrete slab drops off into landscaping approximately six inches, LPA requested a barrier be placed so residents do not fall into the landscaping. The ramp leading to bedrooms #1 and 2 needs to be adjusted and a hand rail put in place for resident safety. A metal ramp outside the exterior exit off bedroom #6 is not permanent making it unsteady. The exterior door off of bedroom #3 is difficult to open and close. Licensee states they will add a lock to the exterior water heater door. The lock on the cabinet under the kitchen sink for chemical storage does not fully secure the chemicals allowing a person to reach in and grab items inside the cabinet. Many of the door thresholds are raised approximately 1.5 inches creating tripping hazards, Licensee states they will try to find a solution. LPA will have to return at a later date to observe the above items corrected before this facility can be licensed. Licensee and LPA conducted a full review of the pre-licensing care tools. Licensee and LPA conducted a review of the Comp III training tools for review as this licensee has one active licensed facility. Exit interview conducted, report read, and report provided to the Licensee.
