Serenity Board and Care Facility (Facility #496803632) has consistently demonstrated a high level of compliance with California’s community care licensing standards over the past four annual inspections. Across all visits the site was noted to be clean, temperature‑controlled, and free of physical obstructions, with required safety equipment—fire extinguishers, smoke and carbon‑monoxide alarms, and exit alarms—tested and operational. Staff and visitors adhered to COVID‑related protocols, with mask requirements enforced and hand‑sanitizer stations positioned throughout. Resident rooms were furnished in accordance with regulations, and the facility maintained a sufficient supply of perishable and non‑perishable food, as well as extra linens and hygiene products. Documentation of residents’ medical assessments, care plans, and staff training records (First Aid/CPR, required continuing education) was consistently current, and the administration maintained up‑to‑date emergency contact information and 911 protocols.

The most significant issues emerged in the 2023 and 2024 inspections. In August 2023, the licensing evaluator identified a deficiency under CCR 87465(a)(6): the centrally stored medication log was not maintained, posing a potential health risk. The facility was required to update and submit the log by 26 August 2023. In August 2024, a separate deficiency was cited regarding a staff member (S1) whose fingerprint clearance was “in process” and thus not eligible to work or reside at the facility; the evaluator noted that S1 was required to leave until clearance is granted. No other deficiencies were reported in the earlier inspections, indicating that the facility’s routine infection control, environmental safety, and documentation practices remain largely compliant.

Overall, the pattern of findings suggests that Serenity Board and Care Facility upholds core operational standards but must address specific compliance gaps—namely accurate medication record keeping and verification of staff clearance status—to maintain full licensure. Prompt corrective action on these matters will ensure continued safety and quality of care for residents.
