Inspection Report Summary for Villa Capri at Varenna
Villa Capri, a 740‑type facility in Santa Rosa, consistently demonstrates a high level of compliance with California’s Community Care Licensing requirements over the reviewed period. In the 2023 Required‑1‑Year visit, Administrator Eugenia Smith met with the Licensing Program Analyst, who noted that hospice care waivers had been approved for thirteen residents and that the facility’s dementia and infection‑control plans were current. The building was clean, orderly, and properly ventilated, with all exits unobstructed and fire extinguishers serviced. The fire clearance authorized for 80 non‑ambulatory residents, including four bedridden occupants, was verified. No deficiencies were cited, and the evaluator recommended a follow‑up visit later in the year.
During the 2021 compliance cycle, Villa Capri underwent a series of case‑management inspections tied to a probationary order stemming from a prior license revocation. On April 29, a tele‑video visit confirmed that the facility’s physical plant met safety standards: exits were clear, fire extinguishers were charged, elevators had recent inspections, and essential supplies—water, food, hot‑water temperatures, and medication storage—were adequate. The same day’s inspection documented that toxins and cleaners were locked away and that the medication room was centrally located and inaccessible to residents. No violations were noted, and the evaluator emphasized that future inspections would be unannounced.
The subsequent April 30 inspection continued that review, focusing on the facility’s emergency and disaster preparedness. The evaluator confirmed the presence of a comprehensive emergency plan manual, designated “Disaster Leaders” on each shift, and a system of alerts through Code Red and Everbridge. The assessment highlighted that, although most staff lacked formal disaster‑plan or disaster‑leader training, the administrator was working to address these gaps. The evaluator noted that many staff files did not yet demonstrate the required training and that the facility must report any plan revisions to the licensing office promptly. Despite this deficiency, the evaluator recognized the facility’s efforts to maintain up‑to‑date emergency supplies, evacuation drills, and communication protocols.
The May 25 Annual Required inspection, led by Dina Alviso, mirrored the earlier findings. While the narrative text is incomplete in the source, it indicates that the evaluator met with Administrator Limberg and reaffirmed the facility’s adherence to key standards. Across all visits, a pattern emerges of Villa Capri maintaining strong operational standards in safety, staffing, and resident care, with the primary recurring area of improvement being staff training in disaster preparedness. The facility’s proactive compliance with hospice waivers, dementia protocols, and infection control plans positions it well within the state’s regulatory expectations.
