25 | On April 8, 2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Komal Charitra conducted an unannounced case management visit. LPA met with Interim Executive Director, Amanda North and explained the purpose of the visit.
During a complaint investigation to this facility, licensed as Atria at Daly City #415600191, LPA Charitra observed the facility to be advertising as Serra Highlands Senior Living without an RCFE License. In addition, LPA Charitra observed facility to be advertising online as Serra Highlands and has signage for the facility name as “Serra Highlands Senior Living” outside the facility building. Serra Highlands Senior Living has submitted an application that is pending. The licensee has failed to clarify status and to demonstrate accountability. Licensee failed to be responsible to communicate with the Department regarding the following changes to the facility.
During the investigation of complaint control number 14-AS-20220222113600, LPA Charitra discovered that the facility failed to report an incident that occurred on February 10, 2022. According to the Interim Executive Director, Amanda North, the facility failed to report or send an incident report to Licensing as required due to the transition from Atria at Daly City to Serra Highlands Senior Living. Section 87211, Reporting Requirements, states, a written report shall be submitted to the licensing agency and to the person responsible for the resident within seven days of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Title 22 regulations.
During the same investigation of complaint control number 14-AS-20220222113600, LPA Charitra was informed that during the transition from Atria at Daly City to Serra Highlands Senior Living, there was a new Interim Executive Director that was appointed and new staff who had been hired. Staff interview indicated that they did not have any knowledge of Resident’s (R1’s) baseline and condition because they were new to the facility. This indicates that facility staff are not competent to provide the necessary needs and services to resident’s in care.
Deficiency of the Residential Care Elderly California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 is observed and cited on a LIC 809D. Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties.
