Inspection Report Summary for Varenna at Fountaingrove

Varenna at Fountridge was subject to four unannounced visits from the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division between mid‑2021 and mid‑2022. The first inspection in June 2021 focused on infection‑control protocols, and the Licensing Program Analyst noted an ample supply of personal protective equipment, a functional screening station at the lobby, and compliant staff mask usage. No deficiencies were cited, and the facility’s fire safety equipment and shelter‑in‑place food reserves were deemed adequate.

In November 2021 a case‑management visit assessed resident records and staff documentation. The analyst interviewed a resident and reviewed vaccination and training records. Again, no citations were issued, reinforcing the facility’s record‑keeping and staff credentialing processes. The visit was brief, lasting less than two hours, and confirmed ongoing compliance with licensing standards for a continuing‑care retirement community.

A March 2022 inspection revisited infection‑control and emergency preparedness. The analyst inspected both the main building and the North and South wings, verifying that food supplies met 72‑hour shelter standards and that 14 emergency bins were properly stocked and located. PPE inventory remained sufficient, and all staff maintained mask compliance. No deficiencies were recorded, and the facility continued to demonstrate robust safety and sanitation procedures.

The most recent visit in April 2022 combined infection‑control review with a detailed audit of staff records, hiring documentation, and training. During the tour, the analyst observed maintenance activities that posed safety hazards: tools and rug scraps left in hallways during a carpet installation in the South building, and two housekeeping carts unlocked with cleaning chemicals accessible to residents. Two deficiencies were cited under CCR 87303(a) and CCR 87309(a). The facility received a plan of correction requiring staff training on tool storage and secure handling of chemicals, with deadlines for training and proof of compliance. The citation underscores that, while infection control remains strong, operational maintenance and storage protocols need ongoing attention to meet licensing requirements.
