25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Liliana Silveira conducted an unannounced, required Annual Inspection to ensure substantial compliance with Title 22 regulations. LPA met with Executive Director Kristen Kearnaghan, Operations Manager David Sharp and Maintenance Director Ben French and discussed the purpose of the visit.
This Independent Living (IL) facility is co-licensed as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) for up to 1233 elderly residents, all of whom may be non-ambulatory. The current census for the IL community is 825 residents. LPA toured the interior and exterior of the Independent Living community. The facility was clean, sanitary, and in good repair. Pathways were free of obstruction and slip hazards. Doors, windows and screens, sinks, and toilets were in working order. The facility had sufficient space and equipment to facilitate meetings and activities. The facility’s ambient internal temperature was comfortable and compliant. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are hard-wired to a central location. Fire extinguishers were serviced in December 2024. Hot water temperatures were compliant in 8 resident bathrooms, which also had grab bars for resident use and the facility provides anti-slip bath mats. There is an outdoor pool securely fenced and an indoor pool and coy pond that are only accessible to independent residents.
LPA inspected the facility kitchen and food storage, and observed a minimum of seven (7) days of nonperishable foods and a minimum of two (2) days of perishable foods. Cleaning solutions were stored away from areas where kitchen utensils, equipment and/or food were present. Medication is centrally stored and secured in locked medication rooms. LPA interviewed residents and staff. The department interviews did not raise any concerns. LPA also reviewed staff and resident files. Staff and resident files contained all required documents.
No deficiencies were observed or cited during today's annual inspection. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided to Executive Director Kristen Kearnaghan.
