Inspection History
Inspection Report Summary for Meridian At Lake San Marcos
The California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing (CCLD) conducted a series of unannounced evaluations at Meridian at Lake San Marcos (facility number 374603339) from May 2022 through March 2024. The visits ranged from annual infection‑control reviews to collateral inquiries unrelated to the facility and case‑management follow‑ups. Across all encounters the licensing analysts—Chinwe Nwogene, Iby Strong, Janira Arreola, Jacqueline Shaw Ross, and Venus Mixson—reported that the facility consistently met or exceeded regulatory standards. No deficiencies were cited, and the facility’s infection‑control plan, staff training, and disaster preparedness documentation were found to be current and adequate.
Infection‑control inspections highlighted the presence of posted COVID‑19 notices, ample hand‑washing stations, PPE supplies, and daily temperature checks. The facility’s pool and other common areas were secured, and no weapons or ammunition were stored on the premises. Medication administration was documented as secure, with all drugs locked in medication carts and appropriately labeled. Physical plant observations noted clean, well‑maintained floors, windows, and doors, and a fully operational laundry room and kitchen that met the required two‑day perishable and seven‑day non‑perishable food supply standards.
Personnel and administrative compliance also remained strong. The reports noted sufficient staff presence for resident supervision, current administrator certificates, up‑to‑date liability insurance, and properly filed staff and resident records. Emergency plans, evacuation routes, and disaster drill documentation were verified and deemed compliant. While the census fluctuated between 124 and 170 residents, the facility’s capacity remained 170, and it consistently housed residents aged 60 and older, including those with limited mobility.
Overall, the narrative from the CCLD visits paints a picture of a well‑managed, compliant community care setting that maintains high standards of health, safety, and resident welfare. The facility’s administrators—Kevin Quigley, Rob Johnston, and Ferlina McBride—have each ensured that licensing requirements are met, and the repeated absence of deficiencies suggests a sustained culture of quality and regulatory adherence.
