Inspection Report Summary for Cadence Millbrae by Cogir

Cadence Millbrae (Facility #415601039) has remained largely compliant with California’s Residential Care Facility for the Elderly regulations over the period covered by these inspections. The facility’s administrator, Kiel Stromgren, repeatedly met with the department’s Licensing Program Analysts to address specific incidents and to verify that required reports and corrective actions were in place. A single death on 23 February 2021 was thoroughly investigated; the cause was determined to be natural heart failure, and no deficiencies were cited. Subsequent visits in May and July 2021 confirmed that the facility met all regulatory standards, noting well‑maintained memory‑care units, adequate fire and infection‑control measures, and no adverse findings.

In January 2022 the department reviewed a newly approved memory‑care unit expansion intended to accommodate 165 residents. The analyst observed that the unit had not yet been fully prepared for occupancy: bathrooms lacked hand‑washing supplies, COVID‑19 signage was missing, and certain rooms did not have appropriate egress or lockdown features. These observations were discussed with the administrator, who was instructed to remediate the deficiencies before resident admission.

A May 2022 inspection revealed more serious concerns. The facility had experienced an outbreak of COVID‑19 involving both staff and residents but had failed to report the cases to the California Department of Community Care Licensing and to local public‑health authorities. PPE supplies were insufficient, and daily symptom logs for staff and residents were incomplete. The analyst cited several regulatory deficiencies and required a corrective action plan. Across all visits, the pattern shows a facility that generally meets its licensing obligations but has faced gaps in outbreak reporting, hand‑hygiene infrastructure, and preparedness for new unit expansions.
