Inspection Report Summary for MorningStar Memory Care at San Tomas

Morningstar Memory Care at San Tomas (Facility Number 435202874) is a 740‑type residential care facility with a capacity of 82 residents. An initial office visit on 5 May 2023 confirmed that administrator Ignacio Lopez and licensee designee Phil Altman had completed COMP II and understood all applicable licensing regulations, and the facility’s readiness for opening was documented. An unannounced pre‑licensing inspection on 24 May 2023 found the building complete with functional fire safety equipment, properly stored medication and cleaning supplies, and no residents on the premises. The visit noted adequate lighting, temperature control, and an operational elevator, and no deficiencies were cited.

A serious resident‑staff incident reported on 19 July 2023—where staff member S1 pinched and twisted resident R1’s nose after an altercation—prompted a case‑management inspection on 1 August 2023. The licensing analyst discovered that the facility failed to submit the required incident report within seven days, and that several staff members had not been properly associated with the facility in the Guardian system. Staff who were also employed at another licensed facility had not been verified for clearance under this licensee’s authority. The incident report was later re‑faxed and the facility was advised to adopt a formal reporting process. A deficiency was cited under California Code of Regulations Title 22 for the delayed reporting and for the failure to correctly associate staff.

During an unannounced annual inspection on 21 June 2024, the facility housed 25 residents and again demonstrated compliance with fire safety, medication storage, and environmental standards. No deficiencies were cited, and resident activities and staff interviews suggested that the corrective actions taken after the August incident had improved internal processes. The overall pattern indicates a facility that maintains robust safety and operational standards, while continuing to strengthen its incident‑reporting and staff‑credentialing procedures.
