Inspection Reports for The Commons at Woodland Hills

The visit was an unannounced complaint investigation triggered by allegations that staff did not document changes to a resident's condition and did not obtain consent prior to moving the resident into the memory care unit.

The investigation found insufficient evidence to support the allegations. Records and interviews confirmed that the resident's family and responsible person were aware of and consented to the move to the memory care unit due to safety concerns related to cognitive decline and behavior changes.

The complaint was unsubstantiated. Allegations included failure to document changes to the resident's condition and failure to obtain consent prior to moving the resident to the memory care unit. The investigation concluded that the facility communicated with the resident and family, and the responsible person signed the admission agreement.

The visit was a pre-licensing inspection conducted as part of a change of ownership application for the facility transitioning from Commons at Woodland Hills to Savant of Woodland Hills, a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE).

The facility was toured and found to have appropriate physical plant conditions including adequate kitchen supplies, properly furnished resident rooms with required safety features, common areas suitably equipped, and functional fire safety systems. Emergency pull cords and medication room security were verified. No deficiencies or violations were noted in the report.

The visit was conducted as a Component II (COMP II) evaluation by the Community Care Licensing Division (CAB) via telephone to assess the applicant and administrator's understanding of licensing requirements and readiness for facility operation.

The applicant and administrator successfully completed COMP II, demonstrating understanding of Title 22 regulations including facility operation, admission policies, staffing requirements, restrictive health conditions, emergency preparedness, complaints reporting, and pre-licensing readiness.
