Inspection Report Summary for Meridian of Riverside
Riverside Retirement Villa LLC, later operating under the name “SAVANT OF RIVERSIDE,” was subject to a series of licensing reviews during 2024‑2025. The first visit, on February 27 2024, was a COMP II interview in which Administrator Morgan Williams and corporate board member Adam Zenou confirmed their understanding of California’s Health and Safety Codes, licensing requirements, and the facility’s operational policies. The analyst received signed LIC 809 documentation and the report noted no deficiencies, marking the facility as compliant with basic licensing knowledge requirements.
A month later, on March 14 2024, a pre‑licensing assessment was conducted to support a change of ownership. Licensing Program Analyst Crystal Colvin observed the kitchen, emergency systems, medication storage, and resident amenities. While the facility met many standards, two actionable deficiencies were identified: several resident‑room trash bins lacked tight‑fitting lids, and water temperatures in multiple rooms were below the 105‑degree threshold. The analyst notified the Centralized Applications Bureau and advised that the applicant could self‑certify once these corrections were completed. The report emphasized the facility’s overall readiness to proceed with a new license, pending remediation of the two items.
The unannounced annual inspection on April 16 2025, led by Analyst Armando Perez, confirmed that the facility remained in good repair and complied with safety and record‑keeping standards. Grab bars, non‑skid mats, signal pull systems, and adequate lighting were verified, and all client records—identification, medical assessments, and medication logs—were complete. No deficiencies were cited during this visit, suggesting that the earlier corrective actions were successful and that the facility maintained a consistent focus on resident safety, emergency preparedness, and regulatory compliance. Overall, the reports demonstrate a clear progression from initial licensing education to the resolution of identified shortcomings, culminating in a compliant, well‑managed long‑term care environment.
