Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Graham Gunby arrived unannounced on 07/13/2026 to complete and deliver findings to a complaint received on 02/27/2026. LPA met with Executive Director (ED), Henry Cole , and explained the purpose of the visit.

Based on interviews conducted and file reviewed, facility notified the Department of Incident, which meets Title 22 reporting requirements. The facility provided documentation of calling emergency services as well as the POA before submitting an incident report to the department. Therefore, the allegation is unfounded meaning that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis.

Exit interview was conducted with ED and a copy of this report was provided to the facility.

Allegation: Staff did not ensure resident care plan was followed

Based on interviews and record review, the licensee failed to ensure the resident was safely assisted with transfers, resulting in injury. Record Review:

A review of Resident 1’s (R1) service plan, dated prior to 02/24/2026, showed that R1 required moderate assistance with transfers due to reduced mobility, balance issues, and strength limitations. The service plan specified that R1 needed hands-on assistance and, when necessary, two staff to assist with transfers to ensure safety. The plan also indicated that R1 could bear weight with support and required staff to use proper transfer techniques.

Personnel records showed that a staff member was terminated for failing to provide physical assistance during R1’s transfer and for not following required transfer procedures.

Allegation: Resident sustained injuries while in care

Based on record review, interviews and observations, R1 required hands-on assistance for safe transfers. Evidence showed that staff failed to provide the required physical support during the transfer on 02/24/2026, which resulted in R1 falling and sustaining multiple injuries. This demonstrated that the licensee did not ensure staff followed the resident’s care plan or provided safe transfer assistance.

An immediate civil penalty in the amount of $500.00 is to be assessed for a resident sustaining a serious bodily injury while in care at this facility.

As a result of resident’s injury, the violation warrants a civil penalty assessment based on health and safety code 1569.49(f). At this time, the civil penalty assessment is under review. LPA will return at a future date to assess a civil penalty if warranted.

Based on interviews and evidence obtained during the investigation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore, the above allegations is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC9099D. Appeal rights were provided. Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was provided to ED, .
