On 06/24/2021 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Ruby Ocegueda conducted an unannounced Annual Required Inspection and was met by Assistant/Husband Brian Sugai and later with licensee Vincenta Sugai. Before entering the home, LPA conducted a Covid-19 safety screening. Days and hours of operation are Monday through Friday 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM or other hours as arranged. LPA toured the home inside and outside and a census was taken. Current facility sketch was reviewed and the following areas were inspected: all three bedrooms, hall closets, kitchen, living room, enclosed patio, one hall bathroom, washroom, washroom restroom and the back yard. LPA advised that any room that they did not wish to use for care, should be made inaccessible to children by way of lock or child proof safety device. There is an above ground spa on the premises. Upon inspection, LPA observed a rod iron fence that was closed but did not self-latch. Upon inspection of the above ground spa, LPA observed that one of the two latches in the front of the spa was broken on the spa cover. Upon testing the cover, LPA observed that the cover was heavy and difficult for LPA to lift. When lifted, it created an opening of approximately 1.5 to 2 inches on the part of the left hand side where it was being lifted. Although the spa still remained inaccessible, LPA discussed the regulation discussing defects in the home. Assistant/Husband confirmed the latch had broken and stated he would be able to fix it or replace it with a spa cover that did not have defects. Per licensee, there are no firearms or ammunition on the premises. No poisons were observed during the inspection.
