Inspection Report Summary for Ambassadors Care Home

The November 2022 unannounced inspection of Ambassador Care Home revealed a well‑organized facility. The administrator acted as the infection‑control leader and the staff adhered to screening protocols, maintained adequate PPE supplies, and kept a 30‑day inventory of protective equipment. Food storage met the required perishable and non‑perishable limits, and the facility’s mitigation plan was documented. No deficiencies were cited, and the licensing evaluator requested updated copies of standard regulatory reports for the facility file.

In October 2023 the annual visit identified two safety deficiencies that placed residents at potential risk. The fire extinguisher had expired, and no carbon‑monoxide detector was present, both violations under Title 22 regulations. All other areas—screening station, emergency plans, temperature control, and overall cleanliness—met regulatory standards. The evaluator requested updated personnel and liability documents, and a plan of correction was issued for the fire‑safety issues.

The November 2024 inspection exposed a significant decline in compliance. The evaluator observed missing or incomplete staff and resident records, including absent admission agreements, medical consent, and individualized health‑care plans. The shared bathroom lacked hot water, and the facility failed to maintain the required two‑day perishable and seven‑day non‑perishable food supply. Multiple unsecured cabinets, unlocked medication storage, and a lack of fire‑drill training highlighted ongoing safety concerns. Additionally, the facility had no hospice care plan for one resident and no current medication list for any resident. The evaluator cited several Title 22 violations, issued an immediate civil penalty for fire‑safety non‑compliance, and requested a comprehensive set of documents by mid‑November. The pattern across inspections shows a clear deterioration in record‑keeping, health‑care planning, and basic safety measures over the three‑year span, while earlier visits demonstrated basic compliance with infection control and environmental standards.
