Inspection Report Summary for Villa Christa
The California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing conducted four unannounced, annual inspections of VILLA CHRISTA (Facility Number 198203965) between June 2021 and June 2024. In each visit, the Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) reviewed the physical plant, resident care documentation, infection‑control protocols, and health‑and‑safety equipment. The facility, licensed to serve six non‑ambulatory residents over age 60 (with a single hospice resident allowed), consistently demonstrated full compliance with Title 22 regulations.
Across all inspections, the LPA noted no deficiencies and issued no citations. Staff and residents adhered to mandated masking, temperature checks, and sanitizing station use; each facility maintained a 30‑day supply of personal protective equipment and posted all required control posters. Infection‑control screening was observed at entrances, and resident medical records, including medication administration logs, were current and properly stored. Physical conditions—bedroom furnishings, lighting, bath and kitchen supplies—were adequate, and bathrooms remained clean and within regulatory temperature ranges (typically 108–120 °F). Fire safety measures were verified: one or two fire extinguishers were fully charged, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors functioned, and a recent fire drill was documented in the 2024 visit.
The facility’s administrative oversight remained steady. Administrator Arlene Feliciano met with each LPA and reviewed the purposes of the visits. The facility’s capacity and census fluctuated minimally (census 5–6 residents) and the building, a single‑story structure in a residential neighborhood, exhibited no structural or environmental hazards such as bodies of water or obstructions. Hazardous materials, sharp objects, and cleaning supplies were stored securely and were inaccessible to residents. Disaster preparedness was confirmed in 2024 with a recent drill, and staff first‑aid/CPR training was current.
In sum, VILLA CHRISTA consistently met or exceeded regulatory standards throughout the four inspections. The repeated absence of deficiencies, coupled with robust infection‑control practices, sanitary conditions, and diligent safety protocols, indicates a stable, compliant operation. No patterns of concern emerged; the facility maintained a high standard of care and safety across the inspected years.
