Inspection Report Summary for Novellus Clairemont

NOVELLUS CLAIREMONT LLC, a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly in San Diego (Facility Number 374604722), completed a change‑of‑ownership transition in September 2023 and secured its operating license through a series of pre‑licensing and unannounced compliance visits. The initial COMP II interview, held on 15 September, confirmed that the administrator and applicant had reviewed and understood all relevant licensing statutes, and the application was accepted for final review. A subsequent pre‑licensing inspection on 22 September found the physical plant, resident rooms, and essential services (hot water, temperature control, medical storage, and emergency equipment) fully compliant with Title 22 regulations, and the facility passed the inspection without any corrective action.

During the fall and winter of 2023, the department conducted several unannounced collateral and case‑management visits—on 5, 18, 31 October, and 29 December. Each inspection confirmed the absence of health or safety concerns, and no deficiencies were cited. The reports noted routine administrative updates, such as slight census adjustments (from 79 residents in mid‑September to 71 by the end of December) and a brief discussion of eviction procedures during the December visit. All visits included exit interviews and the distribution of licensing appeal rights documents, with receipt confirmations logged by the facility representatives.

Across all documented encounters, NOVELLUS CLAIREMONT LLC consistently demonstrated adherence to regulatory standards and maintained a clean, well‑maintained environment for its residents. The repeated unannounced reviews yielded no corrective actions, suggesting that the facility has established robust operational practices. The latest report, dated 9 August 2024, indicates ongoing monitoring but its narrative content is incomplete. Overall, the pattern of inspections reflects a facility that meets its licensing obligations, manages resident care responsibly, and keeps its documentation and facility conditions in satisfactory alignment with state requirements.
