Inspection Report Summary for Millbrae Paradise Retirement Home
The Department of Social Services evaluated Millbrae Paradise Care Home (Facility #415601170) on three separate occasions over two years, documenting a trajectory from licensing preparation to full compliance.
In the January 23, 2024 phone‑call review, administrator Sophia Chen completed Component II of the licensing requirements. The analyst confirmed the staff’s knowledge of Title 22 provisions—program operation, staff qualifications, abuse prevention, medication management, grievance handling, and the physical plant. The meeting concluded with the submission of signed LIC 809 and a photo‑ID file, underscoring the facility’s readiness for the next licensing phase.
The pre‑licensing inspection on February 16, 2024 revealed a handful of compliance gaps that must be addressed before the RCFE license can be granted. While the facility was fire‑cleared and currently houses five residents, the assessor noted that the resident who is bedridden should not remain in the facility because the fire clearance does not cover bedridden persons. Three specific items were flagged: (1) a dedicated internet device for residents, (2) a comprehensive set of keys for emergency access, and (3) an updated Emergency Disaster Plan that corrects utility shut‑off and fire extinguisher locations. The assessor directed that these be resolved before licensure, and no other violations were reported.
A required one‑year unannounced inspection on January 16, 2025 found the home in solid operating condition, with no citations issued. All safety equipment—smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and pull stations—were functional, and the facility met its fire‑exit and temperature requirements. The resident rooms contained required furniture, non‑skid mats, and secured medication storage. The assessor identified only documentation updates: a current administrator certificate, liability insurance, a designated responsible staff person form, the emergency disaster plan, staff schedule, and proof of control of property or a lease. The facility complied with food and medication storage protocols, and the resident census matched the licensed capacity.
Overall, Millbrae Paradise Care Home demonstrates a clear pattern of compliance, with the primary issues shifting from initial licensing requirements to routine documentation maintenance. The unannounced inspection’s lack of citations indicates that the corrective actions from the February 2024 visit were implemented, and the facility is on track to meet all ongoing regulatory obligations.
