R13bPage 6: The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted. The building on Mallard Lane is referred to as the “annex”. It is the physical location for day rehabilitation and case management services, both of which can occur on and off site in the course of any work day. While the building is generally open and occupied during normal business hours, this is not always the case. Staff may be transporting clients to or from the facility or be providing case management services in the community. In addition, even if staff members are working in the building, there is not necessarily a receptionist at the front desk if clients are not expected. Participating clients and their families are well aware of this, and there have been no reported problems or complaints during the more than 13 years that this location has been in operation. Administrative offices, clinic reception, and crisis services are all located at the Placerville Drive site, which is always open and accessible during business hours. 14a.
