Jan 8, 2024Unsubstantiated
Allegation investigated: Staff caused injury to resident in care Staff did not change resident's clothing for multiple days Staff restrained residents in care Staff do not provide adequate supervision to residents in care
On 01/08/24, at 9:25am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Gina Saucedo arrived at the facility to conduct an unannounced, subsequent, complaint visit and was greeted by housemanager Narine Petikyar (S2). LPA asked for the census, staff, and resident files. Administrator Arsen Der-Aprahamian (S1) arrived about 20 (twenty) minutes later. Regarding the allegation: Staff caused injury to resident in care. It is being alleged that R1 and R2 sustained an injury to R1’s eye earlier this year because staff hit them. Based on the resident, staff interviews and LPA record review, staff do no cause injury to residents in care. R3 states, “they treat me like a family member, they went out to eat the other day and brought me some food.” LPA did not observe any injuries to residents in care.

Allegation investigated: Staff do not accord reasonable level of privacy to residents in care
On 12/19/23, at 09:30am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Gina Saucedo and Tihesha Smith arrived at the facility to conduct an unannounced, initial complaint visit and was greeted by a staff. Administrator, Arsen Der-Aprahamian arrived later. LPA’s requested the census, staff, and resident files. Regarding the allegation: Staff do not accord reasonable level of privacy to residents in care. It is alleged that there is a camera in the room on top of the table or sometimes on top of the dresser. At 10:05 am, LPA's conducted the physical tour and observed a camera to be in Resident #1 (R1) and Resident #2 (R2)'s room on top of the dresser. Therefore, based on LPA's observations there is a preponderance of evidence to substantiate the above allegation(s). Per the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, deficiency is cited on the attached LIC-9099D. An exit interview was conducted, citation given, appeal rights, and a copy of this report was given to the administrator.

What the state has logged
California has logged 9 state visits for this home as of August 2, 2026. These are the home's own counts, straight from that record — shown beside the statewide median for small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds), computed across all 5,773 licensed homes of that size, because larger and longer-licensed homes naturally accumulate more visits and reports. They are facts, not a grade — a citation may be minor and since corrected, and an “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing.
