Allegation investigated: Facility converted shed into a living area. Facility was kept unclean, unsanitary, and not in good repair. Facility auditory device was inoperable.
On July 2, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Brandon Lopez made an unannounced visit to the facility to initiate the investigation into the above listed allegations. On today’s visit, LPA observed the facility to be vacant with no residents or staff located on the property. LPA was informed by the Administrator (AD) Mar Jason Dasco and Licensee (LI) Allen Medina via telephone that the facility was vacant and that the last resident moved out of the facility on June 30, 2025. The AD and LI also informed LPA that they no longer had access to the facility since they no longer had control of the property. Due to the facility being vacant and the Licensee no longer having control of the property, LPA was unable to physically inspect the physical plant of the facility for this complaint. However, LPA conducted a Case Management visit on June 25, 2025, in which he inspected the physical plant of the facility.

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.
