LPAs and LPM met with Staff #1 (S1) and disclosed the reason for the visit. Today’s case management visit was conducted to address previously noted concerns noted in the facility. On 10/20/25 the Department issued an order of immediate exclusion for the facility administrator Lala Soghomonyan. LPAs Michael Cava and Jose Gary Tan hand-delivered the immediate exclusion letter to staff Matthew Caceres. Matthew informed LPAs that the Licensee was in the process of hiring a new certified administrator to oversee facility operations. During that visit, LPAs noted various Title 22 deficiencies and issued citations and civil penalties. On 02/18/26 LPAs Michael Cava and Leslie Ngo-Castaneda conducted another Case Management visit to the facility to ensure a new Administrator was hired. Between 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on 02/18/26 LPAs interviewed S1 and four (04) residents. Nobody knew who the licensee or administrator were. Between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. on 02/18/26 LPA Cava made multiple attempts to contact the licensee on file but received no response. On 02/26/26 LPA Cava made a Case Management visit and met with the same facility staff, S1. All residents were observed still residing in the facility. Additional civil penalties were issued. S1 was again reminded that all residents must be relocated. No deficiencies were corrected as of 02/26/26 and today. Additional civil penalties were issued for repeat violations and fire clearance violations. LPA Cava issued a “7-day notice of closure” to the Licensee via regular and certified mail and email, informing that the Licensee must contact the Department within seven (07) days. Failure to respond would consider the license forfeited. Licensee abandonment of the facility posed an immediate risk to the Health and Safety of the residents in care. Since 10/28/25 the facility operated without a qualified administrator. The Department received no response from the 7-day closure notice. Based on the information above, it is concluded that the facility is abandoned and the license shall be forfeited by operation of the law. A Notice of Violation of the Law (NOVL) Letter was issued to S1 along with a copy of today’s report. The NOVL letter was also emailed to the facility email address on file. Additional deficiencies issued from today’s visit include deficiencies for administrator qualification and duties and acceptance and retention limits. LPAs and LPM were unable to contact the licensee after multiple attempts between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. today. LPM Margaryan spoke to the father of the licensee at 10:30 a.m. to discuss the staffing situation at the facility. LPM was informed no other staff could come to the facility and the licensee did not want further involvement with the facility. A citation was issued under Health and Safety Code 1569.19(1) for facility abandonment by the Licensee. The staff was advised that all residents must be relocated from the facility within two weeks. LPAs interviewed three (03) residents and S1 between 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Around 11:15 a.m., Resident #1 (R1) indicated that they had not received medication for their diabetes since admission three weeks ago. R1 also had been left in feces since yesterday, 03/20/26. Interview with S1 at 11:30 a.m. confirmed they had not yet changed R1 because they had a large sore on their back that was infected and contagious. R1 called 9-1-1 at approximately 12:45 p.m. Paramedics assessed R1 and two (02) other residents. Since S1 packed up their belongings and stated they were ready to leave the facility, residents were considered abandoned and neglected. All three (03) residents were transported to the hospital.

Allegation investigated: Staff is refusing to take resident back into care.
Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Leslie Ngo-Castaneda and Michael Cava conducted an initial complaint visit to the facility to investigate the above allegation. LPAs met with the staff Emma Rodriguez, and advised them about the visit. An entrance interview was conducted. To investigate the allegation, at 10:00 AM LPAs conducted a physical plant tour to ensure the health and safety of the clients in care, LPAs interviewed four (4) residents, one (1) staff from 8:45-10:00 AM. At 11:00 AM, LPA reviewed and received copies of documents about the investigation for R1: staff roster (LIC 500) and resident roster (LIC 9020). R1 has only been only at the facility for a day. In addition, at 2.13.2026 at 3:38 PM LPA made a phone contact to hospital Social Worker to obtain additional information about R1’s health condition. Continue to LIC 9099-C Unsubstantiated Allegation: Staff is refusing to take resident back into care It is being alleged that the Resident #1 (R1) was abandoned in the hospital and cannot return to the facility. Information received revealed that Resident #1 (R1) was taken to the hospital on 2.6.2026 because of their level of care. Staff and residents interview revealed that R1 was violent and vicious towards other residents in the facility. Staff indicated that the hospital planner attempted to discharge R1 back to the facility. However, R1’s health conditions were not compatible and their presence at the facility would continue to pose hazard to other residents and staff. Upon further discussion with the hospital social worker and other medical professionals the decision was made that R1 will not be returning to the facility and will be discharge to another facility for higher level of care. LPA interviewed three (3) out of four (4) residents who confirmed that R1 has been physically and verbally violent towards other residents and staff. Interview with SW verified the information received from the Facility staff. A review of facility records verified the information revealed from the interview. Based on interviews and record review there is no sufficient information to support the allegation. Therefore, this allegation is deemed unsubstantiated at this time.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Feb 18, 2026 · control 31-AS-20260209103034

“Typical” is the statewide median for licensed homes this size. It does not adjust for years licensed, and older licenses have had more visits and reports. The median is across the 6,916 licensed small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds) in the state record. The figures compared are the state’s totals, not the documents.

CDSS citation definitions (PDF) ↗ · CDSS complaint outcomes ↗
An “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing — it means the state investigated and could not confirm the allegation. Outcome words are the state’s own; we never grade, score, or color a record, and we publish no reviews — the state’s dated documents stand in their place.

A citation does not make a home unsafe, and an empty file does not make a home good.

Among 232 other homes of a similar licensed size across Los Angeles County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,000 to $6,151 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 232 other homes publishing a starting rate).
Each of those is a home’s own published figure, gathered on its own date between September and October 2026 — not an average of ours, and not a survey. Similar size means small and mid-size homes counted together, and large communities counted on their own, because they are different markets.
A home outside the band is not overcharging or underpricing: a starting rate covers different things in different homes, which is the first thing to ask about.
Only prices a home put out itself count here: its own website, a listing it supplied, or a price a listing site says the home confirmed. Prices a site shows without saying where they came from are left out.
