Inspection Report Summary for Villa Fontana

Villa Fontana (Facility Number 435294328) has maintained a record of routine compliance with California Community Care Licensing requirements over the past several years. In the unannounced annual inspections conducted in October 2021, November 2022, and April 2023, the facility demonstrated adherence to infection‑control protocols, including proper COVID‑19 signage, hand‑sanitizer stations, and adequate PPE supplies. Staff consistently wore masks, and all shared resident rooms kept a 6‑foot separation between beds. The inspections also verified that medication carts and storage areas were locked, that fire extinguishers were serviced, and that temperature controls and water safety standards were within the mandated ranges. No citations were issued in any of these visits, and administrators reported full vaccination and booster status for residents and staff, with ongoing N95 fit‑testing.

The most detailed visits were case‑management incident investigations. On June 3 2021, a claim of alleged physical elder abuse was investigated; after reviewing records, interviewing the resident, staff, and companion, the Department found the allegation unsubstantiated and issued no citation. A subsequent investigation on April 7 2023 addressed an inappropriate body contact incident reported on March 29 2023; the administrator committed to submitting an action plan to prevent recurrence, and no citation was issued. During the same April visit, the licensing analyst noted the ongoing self‑defense training program for staff and the grief‑management counseling services, and confirmed that related documentation and staff signatures were in place. The facility’s physical security was reviewed, with the main entrance lock inspected and exterior landscaping trimmed to eliminate hiding spots.

In the latest available documentation, the November 20 2024 inspection was noted as a required one‑year unannounced visit, but the narrative was not included in the report excerpt. The record up to that point consistently reflects a facility that is compliant with licensing standards, promptly addresses incident reports, and maintains a safety‑focused environment for both residents and staff. The pattern of non‑citation findings across inspections suggests that Villa Fontana upholds regulatory requirements and actively implements corrective measures when concerns arise.
