Inspection Report Summary for Atria Palm Desert
The Atrium Palm Desert facility has consistently met California Community Care Licensing requirements over the past three years of annual inspections. In 2022 the evaluator focused on COVID‑19 infection control, confirming that hand‑sanitizer stations, PPE supplies, and staff training were adequate. The facility’s mitigation plan was reviewed and all staff had been fit‑tested and re‑tested annually. An administrative error involving 39 excess test kits was corrected on the day of the visit. No violations were cited.
The 2024 inspection expanded the review to include client records, personnel files, food service, and environmental safety. The evaluator noted a client census of 75 and 35 staff, clean and well‑maintained facilities, adequate emergency supplies, and a functioning fire‑and‑carbon‑monoxide detection system. All staff had completed infection‑control training, and the facility’s infection‑control plan met department standards. No deficiencies were recorded, and the facility was noted to have conducted a monthly fire drill.
The 2025 visit continued the trend of compliance, with a census of 67 residents and 38 staff. The evaluator confirmed that food preparation areas were clean, emergency supplies were present, and medication storage complied with regulatory requirements. The facility’s emergency fire drill schedule and maintenance of emergency lighting were up to date. Again, no immediate violations or concerns were identified, and the facility was found in good standing with all licensing documentation current.
A complaint investigation filed in 2021 was ultimately deemed unsubstantiated. No actionable findings emerged from that inquiry. Across all inspections, the facility’s environmental conditions, infection control measures, staffing qualifications, and emergency preparedness consistently met or exceeded the standards set by the California Department of Social Services. The pattern of yearly reviews shows a stable operation with no significant safety or compliance issues, indicating reliable oversight and ongoing adherence to state regulations.
