Most inspections found no deficiencies, with many complaint investigations unsubstantiated, indicating generally good compliance with regulations. However, some substantiated issues occurred, primarily related to resident care and personal rights, including two instances in late 2022 and mid-2024 where the facility failed to allow visitors, which was considered an immediate health and safety risk, and a serious case in late 2023 and mid-2024 involving failure to properly care for a resident with severe pressure injuries that resulted in a $500 civil penalty. Other deficiencies were minor or isolated, such as a delayed refund of advance fees noted in the most recent report dated August 12, 2025. The facility has shown improvement in some areas, with the latest annual inspection in February 27, 2025, reporting no deficiencies. Overall, while there have been some serious findings in the past, recent reports suggest better compliance and resolution of prior issues.
The inspection was an unannounced complaint investigation visit triggered by an allegation that the licensee did not issue a timely refund of advance fees as required.
Findings
The investigation found no health or safety concerns. Staff interviews revealed a delay in refunding advance fees due to incomplete correspondence between admissions and accounting departments. The allegation was substantiated based on the preponderance of evidence, and deficiencies were cited according to California Code of Regulations, Title 22.
Complaint Details
The complaint alleged that the licensee did not issue a timely refund of advance fees. Five out of five staff interviewed denied the allegation, but three out of five staff acknowledged the refund was valid and delayed. Seven out of eight residents interviewed did not corroborate the allegation. The complaint was substantiated.
