Inspection Report Summary for Buena Vista Assisted Living

Buena Vista Assisted Living, a 740‑type facility with 49 licensed beds, was subject to three unannounced CCLD visits over a one‑year period. The first inspection on 25 May 2021 focused exclusively on infection control and found the facility well‑prepared: hand‑sanitizer and soap were readily available, signage for cough etiquette and social distancing was posted, and a dedicated storage area for PPE existed. Although staff had not yet been fit‑tested for N95 masks, the absence of any COVID‑positive residents and resident vaccination status mitigated risk, so the Licensure Program Analyst issued a technical advisory note rather than a deficiency.

On 26 July 2022 the facility received two separate evaluations. A brief health‑checks visit confirmed adequate staffing, food supplies, and functional utilities, with no immediate safety concerns reported. Later that morning, the annual inspection concentrated again on infection control. While the facility demonstrated appropriate hand hygiene supplies and staff training on donning and doffing PPE, it lacked a formal Mitigation or Infection Control Plan at the time of the visit. The analyst reiterated the need for staff fit‑testing and offered resources, but again no deficiency was issued because no resident had tested positive.

However, the July inspection uncovered several administrative shortcomings that triggered formal citations. First, the facility failed to provide the required written report of a June 2022 COVID‑19 outbreak, a violation of reporting requirements under CCR 87211(a)(1)(D). A plan of correction demanded the submission of a statement of understanding and case summaries within five days. Second, the facility was delinquent on its 2022 annual licensing fee by $1,238, cited as a separate deficiency under HSC 1569.185(a). Finally, the analyst noted that the current administrator, Griselda T. Garcia, was not listed on the staff roster and had not been formally transferred to the facility, although she had cleared background checks; this administrative gap was noted but did not result in a penalty.

Across all visits, the facility demonstrated solid infection‑control practices but showed recurring lapses in administrative reporting and documentation. The repeated issuance of technical advisory notes for PPE fit‑testing suggests a willingness to improve, yet the failure to meet reporting and fee‑payment obligations indicates a pattern of compliance gaps that could jeopardize the license if unaddressed.
