Inspection Report Summary for Garden of Palms

Garden of Palms LA (facility number 197610403) is a 740‑type residential group home in Los Angeles with a licensed capacity of 130 residents. Over the past three years the facility has undergone a series of licensing and compliance reviews, including a change of ownership to Fairfax Gardens Operations, LLC in mid‑2023. Each review has confirmed that the facility meets California’s health and safety standards, with no corrective actions required.

In May 2023 the administrator, Menachem Ginsburg, and applicant Adam Zenou completed a COMP II interview. They verified identification, confirmed understanding of the Health and Safety Code and Title 22 regulations, and signed the required LIC 809 form. The census at the time was 76 residents. An unannounced pre‑licensing visit on July 14, 2023, conducted by LPAs Gary Tan and Michael Cava, included a Component III orientation. The visit evaluated fire safety, maintenance, resident rooms, kitchen operations, medication storage, and outdoor spaces. All systems were functional, smoke and carbon‑monoxide detectors were tested, fire extinguishers were inspected, and quarterly disaster drills were in compliance. No corrections were noted, and the licensing recommendation was positive.

A follow‑up COMP II on July 28, 2023, involved both Adam Zenou and Rena Hirsch. The census had increased to 88 residents, and the interview reaffirmed the administrators’ knowledge of licensing laws and operational policies. Parallel to the on‑site reviews, an office meeting on July 27, 2023, via Microsoft Teams, connected facility leadership with regional and central staff. During that discussion, Zenou reported proactive steps such as hiring additional staff through agencies, appointing a wellness director, renewing a dining contract, and engaging a consultant to ensure ongoing regulatory compliance.

The most recent unannounced annual inspection on September 12, 2024, was conducted by LPA Raymond Comer. The census had grown to 106 residents, including three hospice patients. The inspection covered the physical plant, fire clearance (122 non‑ambulatory and eight bedridden residents), visitor screening, dementia care provisions, delayed egress system, infection control signage, and disaster drill records. All evaluated areas were found to be compliant, and the facility continued to demonstrate consistent adherence to safety, hygiene, and staffing requirements across all documented visits.
