Inspection Report Summary for The Montecito Santa Fé
The most recent inspection on September 23, 2023, cited a deficiency for failing to ensure Direct Care Staff completed the required annual palliative/hospice care training. Earlier inspections showed mostly clean results, especially during the 2020 COVID-19 infection prevention surveys, but prior complaint investigations in 2019 identified deficiencies related to admission agreements, medication documentation, fire drill compliance, and delayed reporting of abuse incidents. Complaint investigations included a substantiated case of verbal and physical abuse by a staff member with disciplinary actions taken, while most other complaints were unsubstantiated. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The inspection history shows some recurring issues with staff training and documentation, but recent surveys indicate a focus on correcting these areas.
