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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What government services provide money for senior housing?

Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:

  • Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
  • Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
  • Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
  • Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
  • State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
  • Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
  • Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
How do you pick the homes you recommend?

Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.

Do you help families that need Medicaid?

Yes. Assisting families who need Medicaid is important to us as it plays a crucial role in offering financial support to seniors confronting economic challenges. We would like to keep essential healthcare services accessible to all community members, irrespective of one’s financial circumstances.

How much does this service cost?

We extend our services at no cost, ensuring that families and seniors can benefit from tailored assistance in their search for care and home options. Our ability to offer personalized guidance without charge to families and seniors is made possible through the support and funding from the communities with which we team up.
