Inspection Report Summary for St Jude‘s Homes

St. Lourdes Home, a six‑bed group home in Hayward (facility number 015601483), has undergone four unannounced evaluations by the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division from March 2021 through August 2023. The site’s administrator, Justino Balintona, and staff repeatedly faced scrutiny for lapses in medication oversight, infection‑control protocols, and environmental safety.

The March 2021 visit flagged a potential medication theft incident involving resident R1 and raised concerns that a known associate was exploiting the resident’s finances. The licensing program analyst, Alicia Delmundo, required documentation of resident identification, physician orders, and the facility’s emergency plan. Subsequent inspections in July 2021 and August 2022 uncovered deficiencies in personal protective equipment and the storage of hazardous cleaning supplies. In July, the evaluator noted an unfit visitor log, absent N95 respirators, and bed frames in the side yard that posed a safety risk. The August 2022 inspection revealed unlocked kitchen cabinets containing bleach and other toxic substances, prompting a plan‑of‑correction that required the cabinet to be secured and staff training records submitted. Throughout both visits, the evaluator emphasized the need for annual N95 fit testing and proper storage of medications and cleaning agents to protect residents with dementia.

By August 2023, the facility was still cited for persistent infection‑control gaps, including inadequate PPE supplies and incomplete fit‑testing records. The evaluator’s narrative noted that staff had been fit‑tested in July 2021 but had not yet complied with the requirement for yearly re‑testing. The pattern of repeated deficiencies suggests systemic challenges in maintaining regulatory compliance, particularly regarding infection control and environmental safety. Each visit required the licensee to submit corrective action plans with defined due dates, and failure to comply could trigger civil penalties under Title 22 California Code of Regulations. The series of inspections underscores the necessity for St. Lourdes Home to strengthen its medication management, PPE inventory, and safety protocols to ensure the well‑being of its residents and adherence to state licensing standards.
