Inspection Report Summary for The Gardens at Laguna Springs
On December 13, 2021, the licensing team conducted an unannounced annual inspection of Gardens at Laguna Springs Memory Care. The facility, staffed by Administrator Lisa Poole‑Johnson, operated with 19 residents and had all physical plant and safety requirements met, including functional fire and carbon monoxide detectors, proper sanitation, and adequate medication security. The COVID‑19 mitigation plan was up to date, and the staff complied with infection‑control protocols. No deficiencies were cited, and the evaluator noted the facility’s overall compliance with Title 22 regulations, leaving the facility in good standing at that time.
A subsequent unannounced case‑management visit on March 24, 2022 revealed serious administrative lapses. During the review of the Licensing Information System, three staff members were identified as lacking required fingerprint clearance, and the facility had not named a certified administrator. These deficiencies were recorded under Section Cited 1, posing an immediate health and safety risk. The evaluator issued a plan of correction, demanding that the facility submit the missing administrative documentation and secure proper criminal‑record clearance for all employees within the following month. Failure to address these matters could trigger civil penalties.
The June 13, 2022 visit, prompted by a complaint investigation, exposed significant failures in resident care. Resident R1 experienced repeated falls, suicidal ideation, and elopement behaviors that were not followed by timely reassessments or updated care plans. Documentation gaps included the absence of communication with R1’s responsible party regarding suicidal thoughts, lack of ongoing monitoring after each incident, and failure to sign updated assessments. The evaluator noted that the facility’s neglect of these duties resulted in a $500 civil penalty for bodily injury and violated several Health and Safety Code sections. This visit highlighted a pattern of inadequate staff qualification and deficient resident‑care protocols, contrasting sharply with the earlier compliant inspection. The repeated licensing interactions suggest the facility’s operational issues were escalating, requiring continued oversight to ensure resident safety and regulatory compliance.
