Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Paola Guerrero arrived at the facility to deliver investigative findings. LPA met with Jesus Correa and explained the purpose of the visit. On April 8, 2025, the Department received a complaint with allegation of personal rights violation of R1. The Department investigation consisted of review of facility and other records, observations, and interviews with pertinent individuals.
Investigation revealed that on or around February 23, 2024, Licensee ABJC Gracious Living Inc. received money from R1 in the form of a check for $100,000. Subsequent checks were received by Licensee from R1 on or around March 5, 2024, for $200,000, and on or around June 21, 2024, for $300,000. Records show that Licensee representative Angel Kao and Administrator Jesus Correa are co-joint owners of the facility business accounts. In addition, Investigation revealed that on or around February 2024, R1 gave $40,000 to Jesus Correa in form of a loan. Records show that Jesus Correa obtained two notary agreements one for $600,000 ‘lifetime’ service and the second for $40,000 ‘lifetime supply’ of the supplies R1 would need at facility. However, the $40,000 loan to Jesus Correa was dated after the fact, on April 25, 2025.

During further review the Department discovered that the loan agreement Jesus Correa initiated indicated that there was no collateral, no interest, along with no penalty if Jesus Correa does not repay R1.
Both Angel Kao and Jesus Correa acknowledged receipt of monies from R1. Purpose of $40,000 to Jesus Correa was to renovate a property. Other monies received were for lifetime service “for the basic care and board that the Gracious Living could offer” and lifetime supply service while R1 was at facility. However, facility is not licensed to offer “lifetime” services as described. In obtaining monies from R1, Angel Kao and Jesus Correa violated R1 personal rights and financially abused R1. Allegation above is substantiated.
A finding that the complaint is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. Health and Safety Code (HSC) is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.

An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed and provided to Facility Administrator Jesus Correa.
