Inspection Report Summary for Blessed Elder Care
Blessed Elder Care, Inc., a 12‑bed adult day and residential facility in Riverside, has consistently met the California Department of Social Services’ core expectations for infection control. In inspections conducted in 2021 and 2022, the licensing program analyst noted complete adherence to pandemic protocols: appropriate signage, hand‑hygiene supplies, PPE stock, and a functional infection‑control lead. Staff were trained on COVID‑19 symptom recognition and donning/doffing of PPE, and the facility maintained a rigorous testing and isolation plan that kept all residents COVID‑negative throughout the two‑year span. The 2022 visit did highlight that staff had not yet been fit‑tested for N95 masks; a technical assistance advisory note was issued, but no other deficiencies emerged.
The 2023 inspection shifted focus to the physical plant and medication management. While the home‑like environment remained clean and well‑equipped—grip bars in showers, operational smoke alarms, and adequate bedding—the analyst identified two regulatory violations. First, Clorox disinfectant wipes were left on the kitchen counter, a potential hazard that contravened CCR 87309(a) regarding the storage of cleaning solutions. Second, medications had been transferred from their original containers to daily pill organizers, violating CCR 87465(h)(5), which requires centrally stored drugs to remain in their original packaging. Both deficiencies required corrective action by July 7, 2023, and the analyst emphasized staff training on proper medication handling. The same visit confirmed the facility’s compliance with other standards, including staff clearance, emergency plans, and adequate food service supplies, though perishable stock was temporarily low until a purchase was made.
In the most recent 2024 inspection, the analyst reviewed an expanded physical plant layout that includes eight resident bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and multiple storage and dining areas. Though the full narrative is not available here, the report confirms continued access to essential services and adequate outdoor activity space. Overall, Blessed Elder Care demonstrates a strong foundation in infection control and day‑to‑day operations, while addressing intermittent lapses in medication storage and hazardous material management. The pattern suggests the facility is responsive to corrective orders and maintains a proactive stance on resident safety, with a clear record of implementing required changes following each annual evaluation.
