Inspection Report Summary for MuirWoods Memory Care

Muirwoods Memory Care Facility, located at 750 North McDowell Boulevard, Petaluma, consistently met basic infection‑control and environmental standards during its 2021 annual evaluation. Inspectors noted a clean, temperature‑controlled environment, adequate supplies of PPE and medications, and proper storage of hazardous materials. Staff compliance with temperature checks, hand‑washing protocols, and the presence of a designated visitor area was documented, and the facility’s mitigation plan had been approved.

In early July, a follow‑up case‑management visit uncovered a critical administrative deficiency: the facility’s current administrator, Brandee Rodriguez, held no active California administrator certificate. The department highlighted that Title 22 requires a qualified administrator for operation, and requested proof of a pending application by July 14, 2021. While no on‑site deficiencies were cited, the lack of credentialed leadership placed the facility in non‑compliance.

A later September visit addressed a medication‑administration error that had been self‑reported for resident R1 on 9/16/2021. The error involved omission of a prescribed drug and substitution with another, though the resident experienced no adverse effects. The department cited specific regulatory deficiencies and required a plan of correction by 10/01/2021. Concurrently, an office‑announced meeting in October highlighted staffing challenges and the use of agency personnel; retraining of medical technicians was underway, and the facility expressed commitment to hiring additional caregivers. These episodes illustrate a pattern of routine operational adequacy punctuated by intermittent lapses in regulatory compliance, particularly in administrative certification and medication safety, for which corrective actions were mandated.
