Inspection Report Summary for Cogir of San Rafael

Cogir of San Rafael (facility #216 804 000) has consistently demonstrated a high standard of environmental and care quality during a series of unannounced inspections. The pre‑licensing visit in December 2021 found the building clean, well‑ventilated, with all exits unobstructed and fire‑safety equipment up to date. The post‑licensing inspection in March 2022 confirmed continued compliance: emergency lighting, smoke and carbon‑monoxide detectors, hot‑water temperatures within Title 22 limits, and a robust medication storage and first‑aid system. The facility also maintains a specialized care plan for residents with dementia, adequate food supplies, and a clear system for documenting individual dietary needs.

Subsequent case‑management visits in September and October 2022 focused on administrative transitions and vaccination records rather than operational deficiencies. The reports noted that the former administrator, Carol Dowell, has departed and that the facility is awaiting the submission of required paperwork for the interim administrator, Dave Peper, and the prospective administrator, Victoria Mozaffari. No safety or care concerns were identified during these visits, and the facility complied with all infection‑control guidance, including COVID‑19 monitoring and PPE training. The repeated affirmation of a clean environment, proper safety equipment, and adherence to dietary and medication protocols indicates that the facility’s core services remain reliable.

Across all inspections, the pattern is one of consistent compliance with regulatory standards and a proactive stance on infection control, while administrative documentation lags behind operational readiness. The facility has shown no deficiencies in care or safety, and the licensing authority’s reports confirm that its services meet or exceed the California Department of Social Services requirements. The main outstanding issue is the timely submission of updated administrator credentials, after which the facility should be fully compliant with all licensing mandates.
