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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:
- Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
- Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
- Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
- State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
- Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
- Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.
