Inspection Report Summary for Ivy Park at Walnut Creek

The California Department of Social Services inspected IVY PARK AT WALNUT CREEK on multiple occasions between March 2024 and March 2025. An unannounced pre‑licensing visit on March 27 2024 confirmed that the facility’s infrastructure, staff credentials, and resident care standards met all regulatory requirements; the licensing application was therefore approved. The same day Executive Director Gilbert Castro received a copy of the report and an opportunity to appeal.

A follow‑up case‑management inspection on August 2 2024 addressed a July 28 incident in which Resident R1 eloped despite wearing a WanderGuard. The Health Service Director explained the event and the facility’s response. Because the elopement posed a risk of recurrence, R1 was transferred to a memory‑care unit on August 5 2024. No citations were issued during this visit.

During a post‑licensing inspection on March 7 2025, the agency found a Type‑A citation for non‑compliance with Criminal Record Clearance requirements (Health and Safety Code § 1569.17(b)). A $500 civil penalty was imposed, and a plan of correction was issued with a due date of March 8 2025. The same day, the evaluator noted that all physical safety measures—fire extinguishers, detectors, and temperature controls—were functioning properly, and staff and resident records were complete.

A required annual inspection on March 13 2025 yielded no citations. The evaluator confirmed adequate lighting, safe hot‑water temperatures, and proper storage of sharps and medications. The agency’s final review of the records was satisfactory, and the facility received a clean report.

An unrelated complaint investigation on April 30 2024, triggered by an allegation that staff failed to provide hot water to residents, resulted in an unsubstantiated finding. The evaluator documented that plumbing repairs had been initiated and completed within days, that residents were provided alternative showering options, and that a financial credit was issued for each resident. The complaint was closed without further action.

Overall, the reports show a facility that generally complies with safety and operational standards but has experienced intermittent lapses in resident protection and record‑keeping. Leadership changes—from Gilbert Castro to Linda Nguyen/Thuong Nguyen—corresponded with efforts to address elopement risks and criminal‑record compliance. The pattern indicates ongoing vigilance is needed to maintain resident safety and regulatory adherence.
