Inspection Report Summary for Elder Ashram

The California Department of Social Services conducted six unannounced visits to Elder Ashram, a 740‑type residential care facility in Oakland. The inspections spanned from April 2021 through February 2023 and covered health‑checks, infection‑control, and case‑management topics.

In April 2021 a priority complaint prompted a case‑management health check. The evaluator noted that a resident’s bed was effectively locked by half‑bed rails and a nightstand, violating postural‑support regulations and preventing free movement. The deficiency was documented, and a civil‑penalty schedule was issued. No subsequent inspection cited this issue, suggesting corrective action was taken or the deficiency was not re‑observed.

By December 2021 and again in January 2022, the facility underwent required infection‑control and health‑and‑safety inspections, respectively. Evaluators reported adequate food supplies, sufficient PPE stocks, a functional universal screening station, and proper staff PPE use. No deficiencies were cited. The same pattern repeated in June 2022, with a thorough infection‑control review yielding no complaints.

The August 2022 visit was different. During a case‑management investigation tied to resident complaints, evaluators observed staff members not wearing masks in staff areas despite ongoing monitoring for two resident COVID‑19 cases. This non‑compliance with Title 22 personal‑rights provisions was cited as a Type B deficiency, and a $250 civil penalty was assessed. The report noted that the deficiency had been previously identified, making it a repeat violation.

Across the visits, the facility maintained adequate infrastructure and supplies, and staff generally complied with infection‑control protocols. The primary recurring issue was mask compliance during the COVID‑19 pandemic, and an earlier postural‑support violation that was not revisited in later inspections. The February 2023 inspection, while incomplete in the provided text, appears to be part of the same cycle of annual required visits. Overall, the reports suggest that Elder Ashram addresses most regulatory concerns promptly, with the notable exception of mask usage during a public health crisis.
