25 | Licensing Program Analyst, Bennette Pena arrived on 10/30/2026, for an unannounced inspection to follow up on a substantiated allegation of complaint investigation.
On March 10, 2023, the Department concluded a complaint investigation regarding the following allegation: Staff not assisting with ADL’s and staff did not observe changes in resident's health.
The licensee was cited for California Code of Regulations (CCR) § 87466 Observation of the Resident and CCR § 87459(a)(5)(B) Functional Capabilities.
At the time of the complaint visit on March 10, 2023, an immediate civil penalty of $500 was issued, and the licensee was informed that an additional civil penalty might be assessed based on Health and Safety Code § 1569.49(f).
The Department has concluded an analysis and has determined that a civil penalty is warranted for serious bodily injury. The Welfare and Institutions Code Section 15610.67 defines serious bodily injury as “an injury involving extreme physical pain, substantial risk of death, or protracted loss or impairment of a function of a bodily member, organ, or of mental faculty, or requiring medical intervention, including but not limited to, hospitalization, surgery, or physical rehabilitation.” This is evidenced by the facility failing to provide proper care and supervision to resident with a catheter which resulted in hospitalization for sepsis.
Today, October 30, 2026, the Department will be issuing a civil penalty per Health and Safety Code § 1569.49(f) for a violation that the Department determines constitutes as serious bodily injury in the amount of $10,000. However, since an immediate civil penalty of $500 was previously issued on March 10, 2023, the amount of civil penalty issued today will be $9,500.
Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report issued. Appeal rights provided. Bryanna Luke, Administrator and signature on this report acknowledges receipt of the appeal rights, found on page two of LIC 421D.
