Inspection Report Summary for Kathleen Care Home

Kathleen Care Home (Facility #197606887) is a 740‑type group home in Diamond Bar, California, licensed to house up to six non‑ambulatory elderly residents. In the first unannounced annual inspection on 02 Nov 2021, the licensing program analyst identified several critical deficiencies. Sharp knives were found in an unlocked drawer, and a kitchen trash can lacked a lid, raising immediate safety concerns. Medication records were incomplete: none of the four resident files contained current physician orders or labeled over‑the‑counter drugs, and only two resident files were fully updated. Food storage practices were also substandard; perishable items were uncovered or unlabeled, violating state food‑service regulations. Additional maintenance issues included a non‑operating stove burner and a partially damaged refrigerator cover. The analyst documented nine separate deficiencies and assigned plans of correction with due dates, including immediate locking of the knife drawer, submission of physician orders, labeling and covering of food, and repair of the stove burner.

A subsequent unannounced visit on 21 Sep 2022, conducted by Analyst Glenn Trueman, reported that Kathleen Care Home had rectified the earlier safety and documentation issues. The inspection confirmed adequate infection‑control protocols, sufficient food supplies, and proper medication administration. Staff possessed criminal‑clearance certificates, maintained adequate staffing levels, and adhered to hand‑washing, personal protective equipment, and social‑distancing procedures. The facility also had a written infection‑control plan and no deficiencies were cited. This marked a significant turnaround from the 2021 findings.

The most recent inspection on 26 Sep 2023, performed by Analyst Cynthia Chan, again found the home in compliance with all applicable regulations. The facility continued to serve six residents, including two under a hospice waiver, and had no bodies of water or firearms on site. All knives and cleaning solutions were locked, smoke and carbon‑monoxide detectors were operational, and hand‑hygiene practices remained rigorous. A documented infection‑control plan and adequate liability insurance were also present. Across the three inspections, the pattern shows a clear trend of corrective action and sustained compliance, with no new deficiencies reported in 2022 and 2023 after the corrective measures initiated in 2021.
