Inspection Report Summary for Laguna Palms I
LAGUNA PALMS, a single‑story licensed group home located at 24571 Kings Road, consistently demonstrates a well‑maintained environment and adequate fire‑safety measures. In the 2021 and 2022 unannounced inspections conducted by Licensing Program Analyst Joseph Alejandre, the facility met all regulatory requirements: bedrooms were furnished and clean, the kitchen and storage areas were secure, and smoke and carbon‑monoxide detectors operated correctly. The reports noted the expiration dates of Administrator Michael Milo’s and Co‑Administrator Julieta Santiago’s certificates (9 / 6 / 2021, 9 / 6 / 2023, and 7 / 3 / 2023), yet no deficiencies were cited. However, in each visit the administrators declined to sign the reports, a pattern that persisted throughout the subsequent inspections.
The 2024 inspection marked a shift. While the physical condition remained satisfactory—adequate furnishings, functional hot water, and a secure backyard—the evaluator identified significant non‑compliance with resident assessment and documentation. Three of five reviewed resident files lacked current reappraisal/needs and service plans, violating CCR 87463(c). Additionally, a stucco repair project created a temporary obstacle near the exit gate, and the staff member responsible for hospice care did not meet the required four hours of training on postural supports and restricted health conditions. These deficiencies were formally cited, and the Co‑Administrator again refused to sign the report, citing legal counsel. The evaluator also noted a missing PUB 475 poster, an issue corrected in the following year.
The 2025 inspection revealed that the facility had partially addressed the earlier findings but introduced new gaps. One resident file remained without a current plan, and a staff member lacked the mandated training hours. The evaluator observed a properly posted See‑Something, Say‑Something poster and noted that the fireplaces were never used, a detail that had previously been absent. Across the four reports, the facility’s physical safety and cleanliness have been consistently strong, yet documentation of resident care and staff qualifications has fluctuated, underscoring a need for ongoing attention to administrative compliance and record‑keeping.
