Lake Park Senior Living Facility (Facility No. 019201182) was the subject of a series of Department of Social Services evaluations in late September and December 2022. The first visit on September 9 was an unannounced pre‑licensing inspection triggered by a change of ownership. Inspectors noted that all regulatory requirements—temperature controls, fire‑safety equipment, resident room safety features, and emergency plans—were in full compliance, and the facility was deemed ready for final licensing approval. A follow‑up case‑management visit on September 12 confirmed that the earlier report’s findings had been correctly recorded under the new facility number, with no new deficiencies noted.
During December, two additional unannounced health‑and‑safety checks were conducted (December 7 and 21). In both visits, staff adhered to COVID‑19 symptom screening protocols, maintained adequate supplies of food and personal protective equipment, and displayed hand‑washing and cough‑sneeze posters. Hallways and pathways remained clear of obstructions, and residents reported no changes in service quality. The analysts requested current staffing schedules and confirmed that staffing levels were sufficient, but found no imminent health or safety concerns.
In parallel, the facility’s change‑of‑ownership application was processed in mid‑September. A COMP II interview and a virtual meeting on September 15 addressed licensing readiness and clarified expectations for the new ownership group and an associated property, Pacifica Senior Living. The owners committed to appointing a corporate liaison, ensuring independent staffing for memory‑care units, and maintaining a qualified administrator on a minimum 40‑hour weekly schedule. Throughout the reporting period, Lake Park demonstrated consistent compliance with state regulations, with no documented violations or critical deficiencies. The pattern of routine, unannounced inspections underscores the Department’s focus on continuous oversight, while the facility’s proactive responses indicate strong governance and a stable, safe environment for its residents.
