Inspection Report Summary for Carefield Castro Valley

CAREFIELD CASTRO VALLEY, a 740‑type assisted‑living facility with a 116‑bed capacity, has consistently demonstrated compliance with California Department of Social Services (CCLD) regulations across a series of inspections from July 2021 through July 2025. Each unannounced visit—ranging from annual required inspections to targeted health‑and‑safety reviews prompted by a priority‑2 complaint—ended with no deficiencies cited. The reports noted that infection‑control measures, including signage, screening protocols, PPE inventory, and hand‑washing stations, were fully in place. Food supplies met federal minimums, and all resident and staff health records, including TB screenings, were up to date.

Environmental safety and emergency preparedness were recurrent themes in the findings. Lighting in all resident rooms was adequate, hallway temperatures remained comfortable, and hot‑water temperatures were within acceptable ranges (111–114 °F). Bathrooms were equipped with grab bars and non‑skid mats, and all medications, sharps, and toxic substances were locked in secure rooms inaccessible to residents. Smoke and carbon‑monoxide detectors were operational, fire extinguishers were regularly serviced, and the emergency disaster plan was current. The facility’s staff maintained a sufficient supply of PPE, and the administrative documentation—including personnel reports, liability insurance, and current administrator certificates—was complete and readily reviewed during inspections.

Resident‑specific observations further underscored the facility’s stable care environment. A case‑management visit in January 2023 reviewed a resident transferred from Grand Lake Gardens, who reported feeling safe and satisfied with staff support and adequate supplies. Throughout the inspected periods, census numbers fluctuated but never compromised care quality or safety compliance. Overall, the narrative from the six inspection reports portrays Carefield Castro Valley as a well‑managed, consistently compliant residential care setting that meets or exceeds regulatory expectations in infection control, safety, and resident care.
