During the investigation, LPA reviewed facility records, including incident reports, medication records, and interviewed staff. The investigation revealed that the facility self-reported two medication errors. On 03/16/2026, the facility submitted an incident report documenting that a resident received the wrong medication. A second self-reported incident dated 05/22/2026 documented another medication administration error in which staff administered an incorrect medication during the medication pass.



Based on the facility's self-reported incident reports, staff interviews, and records reviewed, LPA obtained sufficient evidence to support the allegation that staff mismanaged residents' medications. Therefore, this allegation is SUBSTANTIATED means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.

Deficiencies are cited from the California Code of Regulations (CCRs), and/or the Health and Safety Code. Failure to correct the cited deficiencies, on or before the Plan of Correction (POC) due date, may result in a civil penalty assessment.

Exit interview conducted. Copy of report, LIC9099D (Deficiency Page), Plan of Corrections, and Appeal Rights discussed and provided to Executive Director. Signature on form confirms receipt of documents.

During the investigation, LPA interviewed staff, reviewed available records, and toured the facility, including resident rooms, common areas, bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas. LPA observed the facility to be clean, organized, and maintained at a comfortable temperature. The laundry rooms and bathrooms appeared clean and in good repair, and LPA did not observe conditions consistent with the allegations of unsanitary living conditions or infection control concerns.

LPA reviewed the facility’s reporting practices related to resident incidents. Administrator stated that emergency medical services are contacted as needed based on the nature and severity of an incident. Regarding the reported resident incident, the facility determined that the event did not meet the criteria for an elopement, as the resident remained within the secured facility grounds and did not exit the facility. The facility documented the event through an internal note, and LPA did not find evidence that the incident resulted in a reportable injury or required additional medical intervention.

LPA also reviewed the facility’s practices for meeting residents’ care needs. Staff reported that resident care checks are conducted at least every two hours and additionally as needed, including assistance with personal care and incontinence care. During facility tours, LPA observed residents to be appropriately cared for and did not observe residents who appeared neglected, soiled, or without necessary assistance.
LPA did not observe unlabeled food, expired food, or food being improperly stored. Staff explained that all meals are prepared in the facility’s commercial kitchen, delivered to each house at mealtimes, and any leftovers are returned to the main kitchen after meals.

Based on interviews, observations, and records reviewed, LPA did not obtain sufficient evidence to support the allegations that staff failed to seek medical attention for residents, maintain a safe and sanitary facility, provide adequate supervision and care, follow food service regulations, comply with reporting requirements, or follow infection control protocols. Therefore, these allegations are Unsubstantiated. A finding of Unsubstantiated means that although the allegations may have happened or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred.

Exit interview conducted. Copy of report discussed and provided to Executive Director. Signature on form confirms receipt of documents.
