Overview of The Peninsula Regent

As San Mateo’s foremost not-for-profit condominium community, The Peninsula Regent is designed for independent seniors aged 60 and beyond. What sets them apart is its unique approach; rather than the customary entrance fee that is often non-refundable, senior residents have the opportunity to invest in their very own homes.

The Peninsula not only secures a valuable asset for seniors and their heirs but also imparts a sense of comfort and peace of mind that comes with being part of this exceptional senior community. Here, an array of concierge services, excellent amenities, delectable dining selections, and daily social engagement await seniors, offering a carefree lifestyle that empowers them to pursue their passions and embrace life to the fullest wholeheartedly.

Inspection Report Summary for The Peninsula Regent

In October 2022, an unannounced health‑check visit to Peninsula Regent revealed no deficiencies. The evaluator reviewed the facility’s response to a recent death report, verified admission agreements, and confirmed that staffing schedules and resident rosters were current. The visit concluded that existing monitoring procedures for independent residents were adequate and that the facility was in compliance with the applicable licensing standards at that time.

A year later, the required annual inspection conducted in December 2024 identified several significant compliance gaps. While the physical environment—an 11‑story building with assisted‑living units, a swimming pool, and adequate lighting—was found to meet safety standards, the review uncovered deficiencies in personnel health screenings, dementia and postural‑support training, first‑aid certification, and the formatting of admission agreements. Two staff members lacked current health screening reports, four lacked required training, and two did not have up‑to‑date first‑aid certification. The evaluator issued a plan of correction with a 12‑week deadline to submit documentation to the Department. Failure to address these deficiencies could trigger civil penalties.

A separate complaint investigation in late September 2024 substantiated several allegations of substandard resident care. Alarm‑system logs from a resident’s room revealed that staff failed to respond to emergency call button activations within 15 minutes on 16 separate occasions over a 51‑day period. Additionally, an incident on May 4 2024 documented a skin tear and bruising caused by rough handling, which led to a family complaint. The evaluator confirmed that residents were not being spoken to appropriately and that the staff’s conduct fell below the expected standard of care. The findings were deemed substantiated under the preponderance of evidence standard, and corrective action was mandated.

Across these reports, a pattern emerges of solid environmental and safety practices coupled with recurring deficiencies in staff health, training, and responsiveness. The facility’s leadership has been provided with clear deadlines to rectify personnel and procedural gaps. Continued oversight will be required to ensure that the identified corrective actions are fully implemented and that the facility’s care standards align with California’s stringent community‑care regulations.
