Inspection Report Summary for Memory Care of Contra Costa

Château at Poets Corner (Facility #075601363) in Pleasant Hill, California, has undergone several unannounced licensing reviews since 2022. The first two inspections in May and February of 2022 and February 2023 were infection‑control visits conducted by Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) C. Fowler, L. Ibo, and L. Alexander. Each of these inspections found the facility in compliance with infection‑control and safety standards, noting adequate lighting, temperature control, grab bars, non‑skid mats, and secure storage of medications and sharps. No deficiencies were cited, and the LPAs requested updated administrative and personnel documents for the 2023 visit, all of which were to be submitted by 23 February 2023.

On 21 June 2022, an unannounced case‑management visit by L. Ibo identified a significant compliance lapse: the facility failed to maintain required criminal‑record clearance documentation (Sections S1 and S3). A deficiency was noted under Title 22, with a Plan‑of‑Correction (POC) due 22 June 2022, and the licensee was warned that repeated or unresolved deficiencies could result in civil penalties. No other deficiencies were observed at that time.

The most recent annual required inspection on 19 January 2024, also conducted by L. Alexander, confirmed that the facility met fire‑clearance and hospice‑waiver requirements, but revealed several personnel and health‑screening deficiencies. Specifically, one staff member lacked current first‑aid/CPR certification, and two staff members had missing health screenings and TB test results, exposing residents to potential safety risks. Additionally, the facility failed to provide an annual medical assessment for residents with dementia as required by CCR 87705(c)(5). Administrators were directed to submit the missing certifications and screening reports by 19 February 2024, with penalties threatened for non‑compliance.

Overall, Château at Poets Corner has maintained strong infection‑control practices but continues to face challenges in documentation, staff training, and health‑screening compliance. The licensing authority has provided clear POCs for the identified deficiencies, and the facility’s prompt remediation will determine its continued compliance status in forthcoming inspections.
