Inspection Report Summary for Varenita of Simi Valley

VARENITA OF SIMI VALLEY, a 740‑person capacity facility located at 3921 Cochran Street, has experienced several compliance investigations over the past year. In a September 2022 unannounced visit, Evaluator Martha Arroyo substantiated a complaint that the facility was not following COVID‑19 protocols. Observations revealed staff and residents wearing masks improperly or not at all during an active outbreak, and the Health & Wellness Director had not instituted training or a written plan of correction. The agency cited a deficiency under CCR 87468.1(a)(2) and required a corrective action plan by September 27 2022.

A separate investigation in late April 2023, conducted by Evaluator Zabel Chochian, substantiated a complaint that a resident’s care plan had not been updated to reflect changes in condition. The review showed that from February to March 2022, a resident demonstrated destructive behavior and a change in status, yet no updated care plan or signed documentation was available. The agency cited a deficiency under CCR 87463(c) and mandated a self‑certification letter and future training by April 25 2023. The same visit was later amended in June 2023 to mark other alleged shortcomings as unsubstantiated.

In a June 2023 visit, Evaluator Martha Arroyo found the complaint regarding a flea outbreak at the facility to be unsubstantiated. The LPA noted that the initial 05/30/2023 and follow‑up 06/08/2023 visits had not revealed any ongoing health or safety hazards, and no documentation of an active infestation had been produced.

The narrative across these reports reveals a pattern of lapses in basic health‑safety procedures—mask compliance, timely care‑plan updates, and effective outbreak management—highlighting a need for stronger internal oversight and training. While two investigations resulted in substantiated findings and corrective orders, the subsequent unsubstantiated reports suggest that the agency remains vigilant, conducting follow‑ups to ensure that remedial actions are implemented and maintained.
