Inspection Report Summary for Pacific Gardens
The California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division conducted a series of unannounced visits to PACIFIC GARDENS, a 740‑type assisted‑living facility in Santa Clara, over a four‑year period. The first two case‑management visits in 2021 followed resident‑related incidents: a resident’s death on 03/12/2021 and a fall from a company van on 06/30/2021. In each instance the facility’s executive director, Matt Zahodne, and director of resident care services, Mia Cabana, cooperated fully with the licensing program analyst, Joanne Roadilla. No regulatory deficiencies were cited, and the department noted that the facility provided the requested resident records for further investigation.
In July 2021, a separate unannounced infection‑control site visit confirmed that PACIFIC GARDENS maintained appropriate COVID‑19 mitigation measures, including symptom screening, mask use, hand‑sanitizer stations, and a documented COVID‑19 plan. The visit reported no deficiencies under Title 22, indicating adequate pandemic preparedness.
The July 2023 annual inspection (required one‑year review) highlighted several operational strengths—well‑maintained fire alarms, adequate food supplies, and safe resident rooms—yet it also identified a technical violation related to medication management. While inspecting resident R2’s room, the licensing program analysts observed over‑the‑counter medication on the resident’s table without a physician’s order. The incident underscored the need for clearer procedures for residents and families to report any non‑prescription drugs, and for staff to monitor medication changes and ensure proper administration.
The latest case‑management visit in January 2024 addressed an incident report that the department had received, though the narrative is incomplete. The visit, led by Simi Rai, again involved Matt Zahodne and was conducted without advance notice. While the outcome of that investigation is not fully captured, the continuity of unannounced reviews suggests an ongoing effort to monitor resident safety and regulatory compliance.
Overall, PACIFIC GARDENS has shown a pattern of responsiveness to resident incidents and adherence to infection‑control standards, with no major deficiencies cited in the majority of visits. The single technical violation concerning medication oversight and the observed high water temperatures during the 2023 inspection point to areas where the facility can tighten protocols to further safeguard resident health and well‑being.
