Inspection Report Summary for LightShine Homecare
The California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division conducted a required annual inspection of Lightshine Home Care (facility number 366 426 757) on September 16 2022. During the unannounced visit, Licensing Program Analyst Natalie Ibarra focused on infection‑control protocols amid the COVID‑19 pandemic. While the facility demonstrated a comprehensive COVID‑19 plan—including a designated infection‑control lead, a visitor screening process, adequate PPE supplies, and staff training—an infrastructure deficiency was identified: the second back‑gate door to the pool area was unlocked and broken. The evaluator cited this as a violation of CCR 87303(a) and CCR 87307(e), which require safe maintenance and secured access to water features. A deficiency notice (LIC 809) was issued and Lightshine was required to repair the gate and install a lock, with a corrective plan due by September 17 2022.
Two years later, on September 18 2024, LPAs Paola Guerrero and Beena Singh performed another unannounced, comprehensive inspection. The assessment covered the physical plant, resident accommodations, food service, and staffing. The facility was described as clean, well‑maintained, and operating in a safe environment; all resident rooms and bathrooms met regulatory standards, smoke detectors and carbon‑monoxide alarms were functional, and a secured jacuzzi was noted. Records of resident admissions, physician updates, and staff certifications were reviewed and found satisfactory. No deficiencies were cited during this visit, and the report (LIC 809) was provided to the caregiver, Maria Agnes Cordero.
The comparison of the two visits highlights a positive trajectory in Lightshine Home Care’s compliance. The 2022 inspection revealed a single, addressable infrastructure issue related to pool access, while the 2024 inspection found the facility in full compliance with all applicable regulations. The absence of repeated or new deficiencies suggests that the corrective actions taken after the 2022 notice were effective, and that the facility has maintained consistent standards of care, safety, and operational readiness over time.
