LPAs met with Licensee, Emily Preciado, and took a census. LPAs discussed and explained the allegations and findings with Emily. Investigator Ruben Munoz conducted the investigation, which included review of facility records, review of local law enforcement records, and interviews with licensee, residents, parents, children, and other law enforcement officials. Based on the investigation conducted, the following has been determined:

Investigation revealed that three uncleared adult individuals were residing at the facility. Individuals were licensee’s son (Eric Preciado), licensee’s grandson (Christopher Andrus) and Christopher’s girlfriend, (Anabelle Buttimer). Licensee provided statements to investigator Ruben Munoz confirming that Eric, Christopher, and Anabelle were residing at the home without having criminal record/background clearances as required per law.
