Allegation investigated: -Staff are restraining resident in care.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cuadra arrived unannounced to conduct a complaint investigation and deliver findings regarding the above allegations and met with Licensee Josephine Blancaflor. The Department received an allegation of staff are restraining resident in care. Per Reporting party, there was an individual who came to the facility to visit resident (R1), staff (S1) answered the door when S1 recognized the individual, they "looked like a deer in the headlights", immediately turned around and started running into the home, individual ran after S1. S1 had run to where R1 was in their wheelchair and immediately started to take off big, thick belts that were being used to restrain R1 into their wheelchair. S1 said "This is for their safety”. Reporting party ensures that there are no physician's orders for these restraints and that staff should not be doing this. The Reporting Party is very concerned that staff are restraining residents so that they don't have to supervise them asthe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Oct 17, 2024 · control 21-AS-20240819125034

What the state has logged
California has logged 7 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. No substantiated complaints are on file.
