Mylda Senior Care Facility, located at 3535 Fenelon Street in San Diego, operates under a 740 license with a maximum capacity of six residents aged 60 and above, including a hospice waiver for two. Over the past three years the facility’s census has hovered between two and three residents, and management has periodically relocated residents for repairs or personal reasons. The Administrator, Miriam Mehzun Hadgu, consistently meets with Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) during unannounced annual inspections and case‑management visits.

During the 01/30/2023 visit, LPA Dang Nguyen observed that the facility maintained a compliant COVID‑19 mitigation plan, with proper disinfection, screening, and personal protective equipment procedures. The audit found no citations and confirmed adequate infection‑control documentation. The facility was orderly, with working safety equipment, and the LPA provided technical assistance and a copy of the Licensee/Appeal Rights.

The 02/13/2024 inspection occurred while the facility was undergoing repair work; the kitchen was out of service and two residents had been relocated. Despite these disruptions, the LPA noted that the remaining two resident rooms met all regulatory standards, fire safety equipment was functional, and no deficiencies were cited. The administrator received a consultation on reporting requirements and was reminded to update the facility’s infection‑control plan.

The most recent 02/20/2025 inspection revealed a single deficiency: the facility retained two non‑ambulatory residents without the required fire clearance for such persons, violating CCR 87202(a)(1)(a). A plan of correction was jointly developed, requiring the administrator to secure an updated fire clearance by 02/21/2025. A subsequent 02/21/2025 case‑management visit collected updated licensing documentation and confirmed that no new deficiencies existed.

Across these visits, the facility has consistently met standards for fire safety, infection control, and general safety equipment, with the exception of the temporary fire‑clearance lapse in early 2025. The pattern of low census and occasional facility repairs underscores the importance of maintaining up‑to‑date clearance documentation for non‑ambulatory residents to avoid future compliance gaps.
