Inspection Report Summary for Sunset Gardens

SUNSET GARDENS, a 13‑bed, 740‑type home located at 1338 27th Ave. in San Francisco, has consistently demonstrated a strong record of compliance during four unannounced inspections conducted by the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing. The most recent visit, on 19 Feb 2025, found the facility clean, at a comfortable temperature, and fully equipped with functional fire extinguishers, carbon‑monoxide detectors, and smoke‑sprinkler systems. While the staff and residents interacted normally in the common areas, the LPA noted a malfunctioning garage‑door pin‑pad lock that required immediate repair—an issue for which the Administrator agreed to take corrective action.

Earlier inspections corroborate the facility’s attention to safety and care standards. The 21 Oct 2023 report revealed no deficiencies, with staff files and resident records complete, adequate linens, and food supplies meeting Title 22 requirements. Fire extinguishers were serviced in February 2023, and the facility maintained proper hot‑water temperature and lighting. In February 2024, the LPA observed a 9‑resident census (four hospice patients), verified that all rooms had grab bars, anti‑skid mats, and that medication logs matched centrally stored inventories. No deficiencies were cited, and the facility was asked to submit updated liability insurance, health‑screening reports, and an Administrator Certificate. The March 6 2024 continuation visit confirmed that all resident and staff files were still complete, medication labeling was correct, and again no deficiencies were found.

Across these visits, SUNSET GARDENS consistently met regulatory requirements for physical plant maintenance, emergency preparedness, food and medication management, and resident safety. Minor technical assistance items—document updates in 2023 and 2024 and a repair to a pin‑pad lock in 2025—were the only issues flagged. The pattern of no deficiencies and the swift responses to requested corrections indicate that the facility maintains a high standard of care for its 11‑resident census, including ongoing hospice services.

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.
