Inspection Report Summary for The Pinnacles at Burton
The four annual inspections of Beverly Hills Carmel Retirement Hotel, located at 8750 Burton Way in Los Angeles, consistently demonstrated compliance with California’s community‑care licensing standards. Each visit was unannounced, required annually, and conducted by a designated Licensing Program Analyst (LPA). Administrators Bernice Pulanco, along with Business Manager Boris Tamasi in the most recent inspection, met the LPAs and explained the purpose of the visits.
Across the 2021, 2022, and two 2023 inspections, the facility maintained a stable census, ranging from 51 to 55 residents, with a mix of ambulatory and non‑ambulatory residents. The four‑story structure, with 37 bedrooms and 47 bathrooms, featured a well‑equipped lobby, multiple common areas, and a fully functional industrial kitchen. All rooms and common spaces were found to contain the mandated furnishings and were free of hazards, with adequate lighting and temperature control. Sanitary facilities met accessibility requirements, and all bathrooms were stocked, cleaned daily, and equipped with safety grab bars and non‑skid mats. Fire safety systems, including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, sprinkler systems, and fire extinguishers, were inspected and found to be fully operational, with recent servicing by the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Infection control practices were a central focus of each review. The facility maintained sanitizing stations at entry points, logged visitor temperatures, and kept additional supplies locked in a dedicated storage room. Staff and residents consistently wore masks, and temperature checks were conducted daily for residents. Personal protective equipment was stocked for 30 to 60 days, and isolation protocols were in place for private rooms. Medication rooms were locked and secure, and medication administration records were complete and matched to resident files. All required resident and staff documentation, including liability insurance, was current.
No deficiencies or citations were identified in any of the inspections, and all LPAs reported full compliance with the California Code of Regulations. The consistent findings suggest that Beverly Hills Carmel Retirement Hotel maintains robust standards of care, safety, and regulatory compliance, with no emerging patterns of concern across the examined periods.
