Overview of Kokoro Assisted Living

Kokoro Assisted Living is a wonderful senior living community that embraces both Japanese and American heritage and culture. The community’s emphasis on cultural activities, celebrations, and cuisine is a great way to foster a sense of community and create a unique experience for its residents. Kokoro offers a variety of independent and assisted living apartment styles to fit the needs of its residents. The availability of one-bedroom apartments and some studio apartments for double occupancy is especially convenient.

The community’s peaceful sanctuary, outdoor courtyard, and library offer a relaxing and rejuvenating atmosphere. The focus on staying active through exercise, strength, and spiritual wellness programs is important for maintaining physical and mental health in older adults.

Inspection Report Summary for Kokoro Assisted Living

Kokoro Assisted Living Facility has consistently passed unannounced annual inspections from 2021 through 2024, with Licensing Program Analysts reporting no deficiencies in infection control, fire safety, food storage, or resident care. Each visit documented thorough adherence to COVID‑19 protocols, including dedicated isolation units, weekly PPE inventories, and mandatory mask use. Staff training records and environmental cleaning supplies were regularly reviewed, and all resident rooms, common areas, and kitchens maintained appropriate temperatures, lighting, and hygiene products. The facility’s physical layout—six stories with two isolation apartments on the first floor—was noted as safe and unobstructed, and fire extinguishers and detectors were fully charged and recently serviced.

The 2024 case‑management visits focused on a resident requiring total care, with staff interviews confirming that care plans and emergency response systems were adequate. No deficiencies were cited, and the analysts indicated that further monitoring would continue. The 2022 and 2023 annual inspections required the submission of updated administrative forms (LIC 309 and LIC 308), but the facility complied within the requested timeframe. Throughout the period, the facility maintained resident privacy by securing medications, toxins, and sharps, and consistently stored cleaning supplies in locked closets.

The most significant issue arose during the 10/10/2024 inspection, when a technical violation was issued for incomplete staff training records and pending administrative documentation. A maintenance cart containing power tools was temporarily exposed in a stairwell, prompting immediate removal and securing by maintenance staff. The analyst requested additional documents, including the Designated Facility Responsibility (LIC 308), Personnel Summary (LIC 500), Emergency Disaster Plan (LIC 610), and proof of liability insurance, with a deadline of 10/24/2024. Despite this procedural lapse, the overall pattern shows the facility upholds high standards of care, safety, and regulatory compliance, with only minor administrative adjustments needed to resolve the technical violation.
