Inspection Report Summary for Oakmont of Novato
Oakmont of Novato (facility number 216804022) underwent a series of licensing evaluations during 2022 that highlighted both strengths in its physical plant and care programs and persistent compliance concerns. The March 1, 2022 Component II review confirmed that administrator Annemarie Domizio and the staff understood Title 22 requirements across program policy, staffing qualifications, medication management, and emergency procedures. The April 6, 2022 pre‑licensing inspection found a well‑maintained, two‑story facility that comfortably housed 87 residents—including 32 memory‑care residents and 6 hospice patients—offering adequate private bedrooms, a functional kitchen, and a range of resident activities. However, the agency noted that several required postings were missing, a 5‑day hot‑water temperature log was lacking, and a mitigation plan had not yet been fully updated.
Subsequent office visits on June 14 and July 21, 2022 addressed the facility’s ongoing compliance plan, which was originally initiated on July 2, 2021 following a change in ownership. In the June meeting, licensed program managers discussed unresolved deficiencies that the agency had identified, including unsecured medications, a resident with a prohibited condition, delayed medical attention, incomplete medical assessments, incomplete resident records, insufficient memory‑care staffing, gaps in food service reporting, and failures to report medication refusals or suspected abuse. The agency reiterated that these issues fall under a two‑year non‑compliance plan and that additional civil penalties are under review for substantiated complaints #21‑AS‑20210310171803 and #21‑AS‑20210823100922. The July visit, conducted virtually, continued the transfer of the compliance plan under the new administrator, Ric Pielstick, reaffirming the facility’s commitment to rectifying the cited concerns while maintaining the quality of care for its residents.
Across the reports, a clear pattern emerges: Oakmont of Novato demonstrates solid operational infrastructure and a committed administrative staff, yet recurring compliance gaps—particularly in medication safety, resident documentation, and staff adequacy—persist. The agency’s oversight underscores the need for diligent follow‑up on the non‑compliance plan and timely corrective actions to align the facility with Title 22 regulations and protect resident safety.
