Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Arian Golbakhsh conducted an unannounced, required Annual Inspection. The facility file and personnel report was reviewed prior to the visit. LPA was welcomed by, identified themselves to, and discussed the purpose of the visit to Residential Health Services Manager (RHSM) Alison Humora and Operations Manager (OM) David Sharp. Executive Director (ED) Kristen Kearnaghan arrived later during the visit. The facility's license shows a maximum capacity of one-thousand-two-hundred-and-thirty-three residents (1,233), all of whom may be non-ambulatory. Additionally, the facility is approved for a hospice waiver for nine (9). During today’s inspection there were eight-hundred-and sixty (860) residents in care, with five (5) currently on hospice.
 
LPA and ED Kearnaghan toured the interior and exterior of the facility and inspected a sample of occupied and unoccupied resident rooms. Director of Plant Operations Ben French joined for the second half of the walkthrough. The facility was clean, sanitary, and in good repair. Pathways were free of obstruction and slip hazards. Client bedrooms visited contained the required furnishings. Doors, windows, screens, toilets, and showers were in working order. Extra linens and hygiene supplies were present, and LPA briefly observed staff in the facility's laundry room. Physical separation of clean and soiled laundry was maintained.

The facility had sufficient space and equipment to facilitate dining, laundry, visitation, meetings, and client activities. Each building contained at least one common room with plenty of space and seating. Main clubhouse buildings included a variety of activity spaces and activity calendars were readily available in common areas.

FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:
  • Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.
  • Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.

LPA toured the two (2) main kitchens and respective dining areas. The facility contained at least two (2) days of perishable food, and at least seven (7) days non-perishable food, all safely stored. Cooking, dining equipment, and utensils were present. The kitchens feature automatic alerts for food allergies when a resident places an order for a meal.

No toxic chemicals or poisons were accessible to clients.  Medications were labeled, as required, and stored in locked areas. The facility does include two (2) swimming pools, one indoors, and the other outdoors. The outdoor one was fenced and the access gates locked, as required per regulation. The indoor pool access door is unlocked for residents of that building during daytime hours then locked at night. Additionally, the facility grounds feature several water fountain/waterfall fixtures as well as large ponds. Per ED Kearnaghan, Independent Living community residents who may be at risk with access to such bodies of water (such as those with cognitive impairment) are required to have a 24/7 companion and are not left unsupervised.

Per ED Kearnaghan, no firearms or ammunition are kept at the facility. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, emergency lighting, and facility telephone were all in working order. Fire extinguishers were serviced within the last 12 months, dated for December 2025. Last staff emergency drill was conducted on 2/10/26 for the topic of building fire. First aid kit was complete and readily accessible. Required licensing postings were observed in visible areas of the facility.

LPA interviewed two (2) staff and five (5) clients, and interviews did not reveal any licensing or regulatory concerns. Particular praise was given regarding staff competence and enthusiasm. LPA reviewed facility records. The files reviewed by LPA contained required documents. Confidential records were stored in locked areas.

No deficiencies were cited during the inspection. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Kearnaghan, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058) were provided. Their signature below confirms receipt of these documents.
