Inspection Report Summary for Santa Maria Terrace – Santa Maria
The Santa Maria Terrace facility (425850025) has undergone a series of unannounced inspections that highlight persistent compliance challenges while also demonstrating some improvements in infection‑control practices. In the 08/31/2021 visit, Administrator Sanjuana Enriquez received guidance from Licensing Program Analyst Toan Luong to post CDSS PINs and emergency contact information. The analyst also identified an employee working without the required CDSS clearance and issued an immediate citation. No additional deficiencies were noted at that time. A month later, a July 11, 2022 case‑management visit by Analyst Olson focused on the facility’s repeated failure to submit Incident Reports within the mandated seven‑day period. The agency cited the late reporting under 87211(a)(1) and set a correction deadline of July 15, 2022.
In early August 2022, an informal conference (via Teams) addressed a broader set of complaints, including staffing shortages, residents’ basic needs, incontinence supplies, physical plant conditions, reporting lapses, and COVID‑19 protocols. Administrator Enriquez agreed to stop frequent visits to another facility and appointed the Wellness Director, Amy Bowman, as a backup designee. No citations were issued during this meeting, but the discussion underscored ongoing operational concerns. The subsequent 08/31/2022 infection‑control inspection confirmed robust screening, PPE usage, and isolation procedures, with Wellness Director Bowman leading the program. However, the agency identified that two of the 40 staff members lacked current criminal‑record clearance, citing CCR 87355(e)(2). The administrator committed to resolve this by September 1, 2022.
Overall, the reports reveal a pattern of recurring administrative lapses—particularly in incident‑reporting timeliness and criminal‑record clearance—despite satisfactory infection‑control measures. The facility has responded to corrective actions by updating staff clearance status and adjusting administrative oversight, but continued monitoring will be necessary to ensure full compliance with all licensing requirements.
