Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 10/6/22 an unannounced complaint inspection was conducted today by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Caroline Harris. LPA met with Licensee, Cordelia Dixon-Hackett . and a census was taken. The purpose of today’s visit was to close the above complaint investigation. The investigation consisted of interviews with the director, licensee, staff, as well as a facility tour and check of the kitchen, refrigerator, freezer and back up freezer areas. Upon inspection of the inside of the back up freezer, the LPA observed there to be blood at the bottom and chicken juice down the right side of the back up freezer. Interviews confirmed that the back up freezer had not been properly closed at one point, for an undisclosed amount of time, resulting in the freezer not freezing properly. Based upon observations, information and interviews conducted, the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 1, the following deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An exit interview was conducted with the licensee, Cordelia Dixon-Hackett and a copy of this report along with appeal rights were discussed and given to licensee.
