Inspection Report Summary for Sonnet Hill Senior Living
The pre‑licensing inspection on 05/13/2021 found Sonnet Hill in good repair and largely compliant with fire, safety, and environmental standards. The facility’s three‑story, 80‑resident capacity building had a functioning elevator, properly installed grab bars, and adequate temperature‑control in the kitchen. LPAs identified three items that required correction before licensure could be recommended: the hot‑water temperature must be maintained between 105° and 120° F, evacuation chairs were needed in each stairwell, and a PUB 475 complaint poster of the required 20 × 26 in. Once proof of these corrections was submitted, the Centralized Applications Bureau would conduct a final review.
In the unannounced 1‑year visit of 05/10/2022, the facility met all California Code of Regulations Title 22 requirements. LPAs observed the visitor screening area, temperature‑checking equipment, and symptom questionnaire, and verified that the kitchen had adequate perishable, non‑perishable, and PPE supplies. No deficiencies were cited, and the report was provided to the administrator.
Two unannounced case‑management visits in June 2022 revealed a pattern of procedural lapses. On 06/02/2022, an LPA noted that four COVID‑positive residents and staff cases had not been reported within the required 24‑hour window, violating Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 of the reporting requirements. A deficiency (Type B) was cited with a correction due date of 06/09/2022. A second visit on 06/22/2022 identified multiple deficiencies (Types A and B) related to medication administration protocols, eviction notice requirements, and missing written admission agreements. Each deficiency carried its own due date (e.g., 06/23/2022, 06/29/2022) and the facility was warned that failure to correct could result in civil penalties.
Overall, Sonnet Hill demonstrated strong physical and safety compliance during its initial inspection and the routine 1‑year check. However, subsequent case‑management investigations uncovered recurring gaps in reporting, documentation, and procedural compliance. Addressing these deficiencies promptly is essential to maintain licensure status and protect resident safety.
