Inspection Report Summary for Valley Haven
Valley Haven III has consistently met licensing standards during its annual inspections. In 2021 and 2022, unannounced visits by Licensing Program Analyst Ryker Heberle noted fully vaccinated staff, proper PPE use, clear emergency exits, and a clean environment. The agency observed no deficiencies, although the LPA advised replacing non‑lidded trash cans in public restrooms. The same pattern of compliance was observed in the 2024 inspection, where additional details were gathered about the facility’s infection control, emergency planning, and resident records. Minor corrections were identified— a difficult‑to‑open sliding door in Blossom Home, a damaged screen door, and an unnecessary half rail in a bedroom—but these were addressed during the visit and no formal citations were issued.
Throughout the four reports, Valley Haven III demonstrates a strong focus on safety and regulatory adherence. The 2024 assessment highlighted the facility’s use of generators for oxygen‑dependent residents, verified temperature controls for food storage, and confirmed the presence of a current emergency disaster plan. Residents were seen actively participating in activities, indicating ongoing engagement and a stable care environment. The 2025 case‑management visit, prompted by a resident’s death after a fall, led to a review of documentation and the decision that further investigation was required. No deficiencies were found, and the facility’s response—requesting the death certificate and submitting it to the Department—was noted.
Overall, the narrative from these visits portrays Valley Haven III as a compliant, well‑maintained facility with a proactive approach to corrective action. The few minor issues that arise are promptly corrected, and the lack of citations over multiple years underscores the facility’s consistent adherence to California’s licensing requirements.
