Complaint·May 15, 2024

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Glenn Ouye through the course of the interviewing the licensee and observation that a piece of wodd was used behind the sliding section of the glass sliding door. The licensee said that she does not have the wood in the sliding door to prevent the children from leaving but to prevent homeless individuals from entering her home. She said that she has had people try to enter her home that were homeless and the wood stopped them from entering. LPA observed the wood behind the sliding glass door at 8:45am when entering the home and the children were already present in the faclity. The wood in the sliding glass door is a violation of personal rights has it creates a potential personal rights risk to the children who want to exit from the facility. Based on the visual observation and the licensee’s own admission on May 15, 2024 that the wood is placed behind the sliding glass door, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, is being cited on the attached LIC 9099-D. Appeal rights were provided. An exit interview was conducted, and this report was read and discussed with the licensee. The Notice of Site Visit shall be posted for 30 days.
