Most inspections found deficiencies related primarily to medication management, staffing shortages, and resident care issues such as privacy and supervision. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including incidents of medication errors, delayed medical attention, inadequate supervision leading to resident elopement, and failure to process insurance invoices timely. The facility also faced pest control issues in August 2024, which were addressed promptly. The most recent report from August 20, 2025, cited a deficiency for not processing residents’ insurance invoices timely, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. While some older reports showed multiple deficiencies, recent inspections show a mix of substantiated and unsubstantiated complaints without a clear trend of improvement or decline.
An unannounced complaint investigation was conducted due to an allegation that staff did not process residents' insurance invoices in a timely manner for reimbursement.
Findings
The allegation was substantiated. The investigation found that six residents' insurance invoices were not processed timely due to a change in management, posing a potential health and safety risk to clients in care. The deficiency was cited under Title 22 California Code of Regulations.
Complaint Details
The complaint was substantiated based on interviews and record reviews. Six residents' insurance invoices were confirmed by the Executive Director to have not been processed timely due to management changes.
