The property had been licensed to care for four developmentally disabled people since 2003, according to California Department of Social Services records. The facility was inspected in 2011, 2012 and most recently, in November 2015. “No deficiencies were observed” at the time of the inspections, according to records.

According to the most recent inspection report, the facility was outfitted with smoke detectors and was conducting monthly disaster drills with its patients.

The Renee Jennex facility served some of the most severely disabled individuals in the state — those with “deficits in self-help skills, and/or severe impairment in physical coordination and mobility, and/or severely disruptive or self-injurious behavior,” state records say.

Clients lived in a small, three-bedroom house that sat next to a larger, twostory home on an extensive horse property surrounded by barbed wire on rolling hills dotted with vineyards and orchards.

In interviews after the fire, a number of neighbors said that they had no idea that such a facility was in the area and that they saw only the owner or his wife outside.

Since 2011, the home has received nearly $900,000 through the Inland Regional Center, a nonprofit agency that is reimbursed by the state for providing services to the developmentally disabled, said Nancy Lungren, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Developmental Services.
