Inspection Report Summary for Atria at Foster Square

The series of evaluations for ATRIA at Foster Square, administered by the California Department of Social Services, highlight a trajectory of improving routine compliance but also deepening violations in resident care. In the spring of 2021, a tele‑visit focused on COVID‑19 management identified the facility’s need for mass testing and contact tracing. The administrator was asked to submit an action plan within 24 hours. By late March, an unannounced case‑management inspection followed a self‑reported incident, prompting the agency to request statements, handbooks, physician reports, and a police report, underscoring the department’s insistence on transparency for self‑reported events.

The December 2021 unannounced annual inspection reinforced standard infection‑control practices, including mask use, vaccination status, and PPE supplies. The visit also prompted the facility to submit a range of administrative and emergency plans, indicating compliance with licensing documentation requirements. However, even as basic health protocols were affirmed, the evaluation noted that the facility had not posted hand‑washing signs in shared bathrooms—a minor lapse that could signal a pattern of oversight in everyday care procedures.

The most significant findings emerged during the March 2022 case‑management follow‑up on a complaint regarding a resident’s fracture, refusal to readmit, and failure to report the incident to the family. Investigators uncovered that a caregiver had not cooperated with the inquiry, that required camera footage was withheld, and that the administrator had allegedly failed to re‑appraise the resident after hospitalization. The facility was cited for multiple regulatory violations, including failure to conduct private interviews, lack of adequate staffing, improper resident appraisal, and non‑compliance with emergency notification rules. The citations, pending appeal, reflect serious concerns about the facility’s administrative oversight and resident safety protocols.

Collectively, the reports illustrate a pattern where routine inspections pass when basic health and safety standards are met, yet significant procedural deficiencies surface when the agency probes deeper into resident‑care incidents. The facility’s repeated requests for documentation and action plans suggest an ongoing effort to address deficiencies, but the severity of the 2022 findings indicates that compliance gaps remain critical. Continued monitoring and enforcement will be essential to ensure that ATRIA at Foster Square resolves its resident‑care shortcomings and meets all regulatory obligations.
