Home Information Harmony Home Care

Inspection Report Summary for Harmony Home Care

Harmony Home Care (Facility No. 075601441) was the subject of three unannounced, required inspections conducted by California Department of Social Services licensing analysts. The first visit, on 12 May 2022, uncovered physical storage deficiencies: mattresses, nightstands, and miscellaneous items were left in the patio and backyard, violating CCR 87303(a). The administrator was instructed to remove these items and submit photographic evidence by 19 May 2022. The second inspection, on 26 April 2023, resulted in no cited deficiencies. The analyst reviewed resident and staff records, confirmed up‑to‑date first‑aid training, and noted compliance with fire clearance and emergency documentation requirements. The facility’s environment was deemed safe and sanitary, with adequate lighting, temperature control, and access to essential supplies.

The third inspection, on 26 March 2024, revealed two distinct compliance issues. First, hot‑water temperatures in shared bathrooms exceeded the statutory limit, reaching 121 °F, creating an immediate health risk. The administrator lowered the temperature to 110 °F, clearing this deficiency. Second, the backyard contained a cluttered assortment of abandoned furniture, equipment, and debris, compromising cleanliness and safety in accordance with CCR 87303(a). The administrator committed to removing all items and cleaning the yard, submitting photographic evidence by 16 April 2024. In addition, the facility’s Administrator Certificate had expired on 25 November 2023, a procedural lapse addressed during the inspection.

Across the three visits, a pattern of intermittent compliance emerges. While the 2023 audit indicated a clean slate, subsequent inspections highlighted recurring maintenance challenges—storage of items in prohibited areas, inadequate hot‑water control, and yard clutter—suggesting that the facility’s maintenance processes may be inconsistent. The licensing analysts consistently required corrective action plans with defined deadlines, and the facility has demonstrated responsiveness by addressing deficiencies within the stipulated timeframes. Continued monitoring will be necessary to ensure sustained adherence to safety, sanitation, and regulatory standards.
