Inspection Report Summary for Safe Haven – Modesto
The series of inspections of SAFE HAVEN MODESTO LLC, a six‑bedroom residential care facility in Modesto, consistently demonstrate full compliance with California community care licensing requirements. In the initial COMP II interview on June 11, 2024, Administrator Aileen Grimesey confirmed her knowledge of all regulatory areas, and the agency noted no deficiencies. A subsequent unannounced pre‑licensing visit on July 18, 2024, conducted because of a change in ownership, found the premises in substantial compliance. All safety systems were operational, emergency plans were current, and the facility’s temperature, food supplies, and resident accommodations met state standards. The applicant agreed to refrain from interior surveillance cameras without a Department‑approved waiver, and the transfer notice was deemed compliant.
A post‑licensing inspection on February 6, 2025, observed the facility serving six non‑ambulatory or hospice residents, with five residents present and four staff on duty. The building was odor‑free except for a brief change‑over area, temperature and water readings were within prescribed limits, and medication storage complied with regulations. The administrator’s certificate and the facility’s license were properly displayed, and weekly menus and activity schedules were affixed. No deficiencies were cited, and the facility maintained adequate food and medical supplies. The caretaker, Ganie Avena, reported that residents had enjoyed breakfast, reinforcing positive resident experience.
The annual required inspection on August 8, 2025, was unannounced and employed the CARE inspection tool. The LPA noted the building’s cleanliness, natural lighting, and well‑maintained fire safety equipment. The census was four residents, below capacity but within limits, and all staff had valid background clearances. No deficiencies or violations were reported. The facility’s administrator certificate was still valid, and the overall environment was described as odor‑free, well‑lit, and welcoming.
Across all four visits, no Type A or Type B deficiencies emerged, and the facility consistently met or exceeded regulatory standards for safety, cleanliness, staffing, and resident care. The repeated findings of thorough compliance, the absence of complaints, and the absence of any required corrective actions highlight SAFE HAVEN MODESTO LLC’s commitment to maintaining high standards of care and regulatory adherence.
