Inspection Report Summary for Bella Care Home – Pierce Ave

Bella Care Home LLC, a six‑bed residential facility in Clovis, experienced a series of annual licensing visits that highlighted both significant compliance gaps and progressive improvements. In the first inspection in 2021, the licensing analyst documented multiple serious deficiencies. The facility failed to meet infection‑control standards: staff were not wearing face coverings, and a required mitigation plan had not yet been approved. More troubling were personnel screening lapses—an unfinger‑printed employee was observed working on the premises—raising immediate health‑safety concerns. Resident rights were compromised when door locks were taped over, preventing access, and bed rails were missing from several rooms, creating a potential safety hazard. The analyst issued a civil penalty and required corrective action within days, including staff removal until fingerprint clearance and the installation of auditory alarms on all entry points.

A follow‑up visit in 2022 demonstrated marked improvement in infection‑control practices. All staff wore face coverings, and the facility had an established COVID‑19 mitigation plan that encompassed symptom screening, testing, quarantine protocols, and staff sick‑leave arrangements. The analyst noted that PPE supplies were present, though an additional 30‑day stock was recommended. No civil penalties were imposed, and the facility was praised for its adherence to the new guidelines.

The 2023 inspection focused on overall facility conditions and resident safety equipment. Rooms and common areas were clean, heating and fire safety devices were functional, and staff adhered to proper food storage and medication security protocols. However, the review uncovered a deficiency in postural support equipment: six residents lacked required bed rails, contravening state regulations on safe mobility assistance. The analyst mandated physician orders for the affected residents by mid‑December and warned that failure to correct the shortfall could trigger penalties.

Across the four inspections, a clear pattern emerges: initial compliance lapses were swiftly identified and addressed, leading to measurable progress in health‑safety standards. Nonetheless, persistent issues—such as adequate bedding, auditory alarms, and postural supports—remain focal points for ongoing monitoring. The facility’s responsiveness to corrective action orders indicates a willingness to rectify deficiencies, but the recurrence of certain shortcomings underscores the need for continued oversight and systematic quality improvement.
