Inspection Report Summary for Gardens at Northridge

Gardens at Northridge, a 135‑bed assisted‑living and memory‑care facility, has consistently met California’s Title 22 requirements during a series of inspections conducted between March 2022 and September 2023. The initial March 2022 visit was a COMP II interview that confirmed the administrator’s understanding of regulatory policies and established the new ownership’s licensing intent. A month later, an announced pre‑licensing tour documented full compliance with fire, safety, and resident‑care standards, noting well‑maintained furnishings, appropriate medical storage, and a fully functional emergency plan. An August 2022 office meeting reinforced that the facility’s application was approved, with the California Department of Social Services (CCLD) noting no additional concerns.

In March 2023, a surprise case‑management inspection revealed a temporary leadership vacuum: the administrator and business‑office personnel had resigned, and regional directors were overseeing operations until a new manager was hired. The visit highlighted the need for a LIC 308 designee and prompted follow‑up with the regional director to address the staffing gap and any related complaint controls. Despite this personnel disruption, the facility remained physically compliant and continued to provide care without reported safety incidents.

The most recent unannounced inspection in September 2023 found the facility operating at the required standard for a one‑year post‑licensure review. Fire safety, infection‑control, and resident‑safety protocols were up to date; all signage, PPE stock, and visitor screening measures complied with current regulations. The facility’s two‑story building, memory‑care unit, and assisted‑living wings were clean, well‑furnished, and fully fire‑cleared for the designated resident capacity, including a hospice waiver for fifteen residents.

Across all visits, a clear pattern emerges: Gardens at Northridge maintains robust compliance with physical plant, safety, and regulatory standards, while occasional staffing and administrative hiccups necessitate timely corrective actions and documentation to sustain licensing status.
