Inspection Reports for Cogir of Vallejo Hills
350 Locust Dr, Vallejo, CA 94591, United States, CA, 94591
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, with the facility generally maintaining compliance in infection control, safety, and documentation. Two complaint investigations in early 2024 were substantiated: one found that an uncleared staff member had access to residents, resulting in a $100 fine, and another identified problems with the call system causing delayed staff response to residents’ calls, including a wait of up to 32 minutes. These issues were addressed, with the call system replaced and staff clearance procedures presumably improved. The most recent report from February 19, 2025, showed no deficiencies and found the facility clean, orderly, and compliant with regulations. Several other complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and there is a clear improvement trend since the substantiated issues in 2024.
