Inspection Report Summary for St. Paul‘s Villa

St. Paul’s Villa, a 740‑type group home located at 2340 Fourth Avenue in San Diego, was the subject of several California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing (CCLD) visits in 2021 and 2022. The most recent visit, an unannounced complaint investigation conducted on March 9, 2022, substantiated a series of serious deficiencies. Interviews with residents, staff, and outside witnesses, together with a review of call‑light logs, revealed that resident 1 (R1) was repeatedly left in soiled incontinence briefs for hours and that the facility’s response to call lights averaged more than 30 minutes—well above the 20‑minute standard required by regulation. Staffing records showed that the overnight (NOC) shift was consistently understaffed, with only one or two positions filled when nine residents required medication administration and toileting assistance. The evaluator concluded that the licensee failed to meet the incontinence and general care needs of residents, citing violations of CCR 87625(b)(3) and CCR 87411(a). The facility was directed to provide in‑service training on call‑light response and to update its staffing policy, with a 30‑day plan of correction deadline; non‑compliance could trigger civil penalties.

Other unannounced visits to the same facility—an October 25, 2021 case‑management review following resident elopement incidents, a February 24, 2022 required‑year inspection focusing on COVID‑19 mitigation, and a July 6, 2022 evaluation—reported no deficiencies. During these visits the evaluator noted that the facility’s Absentee Notification Plan was understood, that the COVID‑19 mitigation procedures were being followed, and that incident reports were being filed and addressed in a timely manner. These findings suggest that while the facility can meet regulatory expectations in many areas, there are persistent gaps in the timely provision of basic personal‑care services, particularly for residents with incontinence and mobility limitations.

The pattern emerging from the reports indicates that St. Paul’s Villa has a history of resident‑care complaints that are not always reflected in routine compliance audits. The substantiated complaint investigation underscores the need for stronger staffing controls, more rigorous call‑light response protocols, and ongoing training to ensure that residents’ physical and health needs are met without delay. Continued oversight and a clear, enforceable plan of correction will be essential to safeguard the welfare of residents and to maintain the facility’s license.
