Inspection Report Summary for Atria El Camino Gardens

Atrium El Camino Gardens, a 740‑unit facility in Carmichael, received a complaint on March 8 2021 that a resident with dementia had felt uncomfortable with a male staff member who escorted her to the dining room. An unannounced investigation by Evaluator Sabrina Calzada on June 18 2021 found no evidence of abuse or inappropriate conduct, and the allegation was ruled unsubstantiated. The investigation noted that the resident’s memory‑care director had already removed the staff member from the resident’s care and that training on elder‑abuse prevention was in place. The evaluator requested an in‑service training on resident interaction, which the facility had provided on March 16.

A second complaint filed on March 22 2021 concerned a resident’s failure to receive scheduled showers for two weeks and missed medical appointments. The July 26 2021 review substantiated the lack of showering; the resident’s care plan required weekly showers with minimal assistance, yet documentation showed only one shower completed in January, none in February, and the resident had been absent following a fall. The evaluator also found that the resident was not taken to two scheduled doctor appointments, though the admission agreement mandated transportation support. While the showering issue was substantiated, the allegations about missed appointments were deemed unsubstantiated after reviewing the facility’s communication logs and staff statements.

These findings highlight systemic gaps in routine care and documentation, particularly for residents with dementia and mobility challenges. The substantiated lapse in showering care suggests inadequate adherence to care‑plan directives, while the unsubstantiated yet persistent concerns about staff conduct point to a need for clearer policies and ongoing training. The facility’s response—prompt staff removal, targeted training, and updated care‑plan reviews—demonstrates a commitment to corrective action. Continued oversight and reinforced documentation standards will be essential to prevent recurrence and ensure compliance with state licensing requirements.
