Inspection Report Summary for Maravilla

Maravilla, a 740‑type residential care facility in Santa Barbara, faced a series of regulatory challenges during 2021‑2023. In a case‑management visit on 11/30/2021, licensing analysts Rachael De Leon and Kristin Kontilis investigated the death of Resident #1 (R1), who had been admitted to the Enliven Memory Care unit on 10/26/2021. The team gathered extensive documentation and identified gaps in staff qualifications and resident care records. The investigation was forwarded to the Community Care Licensing Investigations Branch, where investigator Robert Kujawa conducted multiple interviews and reviewed video footage that later revealed a private caregiver (S1) had brought a bottle of antifreeze to R1 during an outing. This incident raised serious concerns about the safety of residents and the adequacy of staff monitoring.

An unannounced infection‑control inspection on 2/24/2022 highlighted additional compliance deficiencies. Licensing Program Analyst Toan Luong found two staff members listed in the facility’s schedule without valid criminal‑record clearances and an unlocked cabinet in the memory‑care unit that contained cleaning chemicals and dishwasher soap—materials that should have been secured from dementia residents. The facility received citations under Title 22 for both the clearance and storage violations, and a civil penalty was imposed. The administrator, Ruth Grande, removed the unqualified personnel from the schedule and committed to providing proof of clearance and securing the cabinet by the due date.

A follow‑up case‑management visit on 2/15/2023 addressed remaining deficiencies from the 11/30/2021 visit. Analysts Mark Jeffries and Kristin Kontilis reaffirmed the need for a comprehensive plan of correction and final citations. The report reiterated that the facility had failed to maintain proper staff rosters, documentation, and secure storage of hazardous substances. Civil penalties were again assessed for non‑compliance.

Across these encounters, a consistent pattern emerged: Maravilla struggled to maintain essential safeguards for resident safety, including adequate staff vetting, secure handling of potentially harmful substances, and robust record‑keeping. The repeated citations and penalties underscore the agency’s concern that the facility’s care environment posed immediate risks to the residents it serves.
