Inspection Report Summary for University Retirement Community
The University Retirement Community at Davis was the subject of several unannounced case‑management and annual inspections over 2021‑2023. The earliest visits in December 2021 focused on two incidents: an unauthorized use of a resident’s credit‑card information and a report of missing jewelry. In each case the administrator promptly filed an SOC 341, notified the county Ombudsman, the Adult Protective Services agency, and local police, and the licensor’s analyst requested follow‑up documentation. No citations were issued, but the incidents highlighted the need for robust monitoring of resident personal property and financial information.
Across subsequent visits, the primary focus shifted to compliance with Covid‑19 mitigation protocols and general facility operations. The analyst noted comprehensive screening at entry, adequate signage throughout dining, kitchen, and common areas, and the availability of masks and hand sanitizer for residents and staff. The facility’s Covid‑19 and infection‑control plans were current and approved, and no deficiencies were found. Fire safety inspections were also up to date, with regular checks of sprinklers and extinguishers, again yielding no citations. The annual inspections revealed clean, temperature‑controlled rooms, well‑maintained kitchen equipment, and a welcoming holiday décor, underscoring a consistent emphasis on resident comfort and safety.
A notable pattern emerges from these reports: while the facility experienced isolated incidents involving resident personal items, it maintained a strong record of compliance in all other regulatory areas. The repeated, unannounced visits and the absence of citations indicate effective adherence to licensing standards, particularly in infection control and fire safety. The licensing analyst’s requests for resident rosters and liability insurance demonstrate proactive documentation practices. Overall, the University Retirement Community at Davis appears to uphold high standards of care and safety, with incident response mechanisms in place and ongoing compliance with state licensing requirements.
