Inspection Report Summary for Atria Tamalpais Creek

Atrium Tamalpais Creek has maintained a strong record of compliance with California’s Community Care Licensing regulations throughout the past three years. In the 2021 and 2022 annual infection‑control inspections, the facility demonstrated full adherence to temperature‑logging protocols, mask use, and PPE storage requirements. Fire safety equipment was inspected and found to be up‑to‑date, and food storage and hygiene supplies met Title 22 standards. No deficiencies were cited, and the agency accepted the submitted mitigation program plan. The agency’s request for updated liability insurance and other documentation in 2022 was noted, and the facility complied by the deadline.

During the 2023 case‑management visits, the agency followed up on two resident incidents. An elopement on April 4 prompted the activation of the facility’s elopement protocol; the resident was located, the incident documented, and a reassessment led to the assignment of a private one‑on‑one companion and a revised care plan. A separate incident involving a fractured vertebra on April 6 was reviewed, and the facility clarified that the injury predated residency, updated medication protocols, and instituted two‑hour status checks. In both cases, the facility engaged with residents’ responsible parties, documented all notifications, and the agency cited no deficiencies. The visits also highlighted ongoing use of virtual communication tools and visitor protocols that comply with public health guidance.

Overall, Atrium Tamalpais Creek shows consistent compliance in infection control, emergency preparedness, and resident safety. The facility routinely updates its licensing documentation and responds promptly to agency requests. While the 2022 SOC 341 investigation involving a staff suspension was resolved with no prior history of abuse, the agency’s continued monitoring and the lack of subsequent citations underscore the facility’s commitment to maintaining a safe environment for its residents.
