Inspection Report Summary for Greenhaven Place

Greenhaven Place, a 48‑bed independent and assisted living facility in Sacramento, underwent a series of unannounced visits by the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing (CCLD) from early 2021 through late 2022. The first inspection, conducted on February 24, 2021, was a case‑management review that resulted in the immediate exclusion of a staff member, S‑1, who was not affiliated with the facility. The department issued an Order to Licensee/Facility of Immediate Exclusion, underscoring the agency’s commitment to enforce licensing standards promptly when staff or residents pose a risk.

Subsequent annual licensing visits on June 22, 2021; January 20, 2022; and March 10, 2022 focused on routine compliance. In each instance, the Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) inspected the physical plant, verified that environmental conditions—such as temperature, hot‑water levels, and fire safety equipment—remained within regulatory ranges, and confirmed that medication storage was locked and that first‑aid supplies were complete. All reviews concluded with no deficiencies cited under Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8 of the California Code of Regulations. The facility’s administrator certificates were up‑to‑date, and the LPAs documented that the center remained in good standing with no safety hazards detected.

The March and September 2022 visits shifted to case‑management investigations concerning Resident #1 (R1). The incident reports described a car accident on September 15, 2022, and an earlier allegation of financial exploitation. LPAs gathered extensive documentation—physician reports, preplacement appraisals, power‑of‑attorney filings, and police statements—to assess R1’s capacity and the adequacy of the facility’s protective measures. Findings indicated that R1, while exhibiting mild cognitive impairment and occasional confusion, is generally able to leave the facility unassisted under supervision. Importantly, the investigations revealed no violations of Title 22 regulations, and the facility was actively collaborating with Adult Protective Services, primary care providers, and law enforcement to safeguard R1’s physical and financial well‑being.

Across all visits, Greenhaven Place demonstrated consistent compliance with CCLD requirements, maintained a safe environment for residents, and responded appropriately to incident reports. The pattern of unannounced inspections and the absence of cited deficiencies reflect a facility that adheres to state regulations and prioritizes resident safety and quality of care.
