On the above listed date and time, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kelly Gerth and Licensing Program Manager’s (LPMs) Pauline Beschorner and Carlos Martinez met with Licensee Angel Anton at the Riverside Southeast Regional Office to deliver the findings from a complaint made to Community Care Licensing (CCL) on December 19, 2024. During the investigation, LPA Gerth conducted interviews with relevant parties, including staff, collected evidence, and reviewed documents related to the allegation. The interviews revealed concerns regarding inappropriate interactions between staff and children, particularly with the way staff communicated with the children. However, these concerns did not rise to the level of physical abuse. Based on the findings of the investigation, the LPA was unable to substantiate the allegation that staff physically abused children while in care. Therefore, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation in this complaint occurred, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A copy of this report, appeal rights and Notice of Site Visit were discussed and provided to Licensee Angel Anton.
