Inspection Report Summary for Citrus Place

Citrus Place, a 740‑type residential care facility in Riverside, has generally demonstrated compliance with California’s Community Care Licensing regulations over the past four years. The most recent annual inspection in December 2023 found the facility well‑maintained, with adequate infection‑control supplies, PPE use, and a robust COVID‑19 isolation protocol in place despite eight active resident cases. Physical plant and food‑service standards were also met, and the facility’s emergency preparedness documentation was current, resulting in no deficiencies being cited.

In 2021, two unannounced visits were conducted. The first, focused on infection control, confirmed that the facility’s hand‑hygiene, cleaning, and face‑covering practices met state requirements, and no regulatory gaps were identified. The second visit was a case‑management review to amend a prior finding, and it concluded without additional issues. The facility’s administrator at that time, Lori Spencer, oversaw both visits and received the reports in full compliance.

The most recent year introduced a regulatory concern. During a November 2024 case‑management visit tied to complaint 18‑AS‑20211215084528, the inspectors discovered that resident R1 was left in the same apartment while ceiling repairs were underway, violating the requirement that residents receive safe and healthful accommodations. This deficiency prompted a formal citation and a corrective action plan with a 12‑month deadline. A subsequent unannounced annual inspection in November 2024, conducted by Armando Perez, again found the facility to be in compliance across all inspected domains; however, the report was truncated, so no further deficiencies were recorded.

Overall, Citrus Place has maintained a strong record of regulatory adherence, with the exception of the single 2024 deficiency related to resident accommodation during maintenance activities. The facility’s continued focus on infection control, environmental safety, and staff training suggests it remains well positioned to address this issue and maintain its compliance status.
