Inspection Report Summary for Cottages at Palm Springs
Pacifica Senior Living Palm Springs has consistently demonstrated compliance with California’s community‑care licensing standards over the past four years. In unannounced annual inspections conducted in 2021, 2022, and 2024, the facility’s infection‑control program met all regulatory requirements. Inspectors noted adequate signage, hand‑hygiene supplies, personal‑protective equipment, and staff training. A 2022 visit highlighted a single missing paper‑towel in a public restroom, prompting a technical‑assistance advisory rather than a deficiency. The 2024 inspection expanded the review to client records, personnel files, food service, physical plant, and emergency preparedness, yet found no violations across all areas.
The 2023 case‑management check‑in, focused on an earlier employee exclusion, confirmed that no current health or safety concerns existed and that the facility maintained appropriate monitoring and reporting systems. Across each visit, staff and administrators were engaged in exit interviews, reinforcing transparency and reinforcing the facility’s proactive compliance culture.
Overall, the pattern is clear: Pacifica Senior Living Palm Springs maintains rigorous infection‑control protocols, robust staff training, and comprehensive records management, with no deficiencies recorded in any of the four evaluations. The facility’s continued adherence to state regulations and readiness to address minor issues—such as the paper‑towel oversight—illustrate a strong commitment to resident safety and quality of care.
