Inspection Report Summary for Dale Commons

Dale Commons, a 740‑bed assisted‑living facility in Modesto, underwent a series of inspections and case‑management reviews from April 2021 through July 2023. The first visit in April 2021 addressed a tragic resident incident: a hospice patient suffered an unwitnessed fall, was hospitalized, and later died. The department’s analyst conducted a telephone case‑management session to review the incident report and confirmed the family’s notification of the death. No regulatory action was noted, and the facility complied with required documentation and communication protocols.

Subsequent annual inspections in June 2021, June 2022, and July 2023 consistently found the facility in compliance with state licensing standards. The analysts inspected all resident rooms, common areas, medication storage, fire safety equipment, and environmental controls, finding no deficiencies. Staff records and training certificates were current, and medication logs were verified. The inspections noted that the facility hosts a mix of independent, assisted, and hospice residents, but lacks a dedicated memory‑care unit; residents with dementia receive care within the broader community. A medication audit was scheduled for July, and the facility maintained adequate food supplies and disaster preparedness procedures.

Case‑management visits in May 2023 and the July 2023 continuation review focused on incident reports, resident appraisals, and the possibility of expanding hospice waivers. Analysts reviewed physicians’ reports, 25 incident reports from February to April, and discussed best practices for resident care. Throughout the period, no violations were cited, and the facility demonstrated ongoing compliance with California’s Assisted Living regulations, maintaining proper documentation, safety equipment, and staff qualifications. The pattern of inspections underscores a consistent emphasis on resident safety, incident reporting, and continuous improvement, while the facility’s mixed resident population presents an area for potential future development, particularly in memory care services.
