Inspection History
Inspection Report Summary for Waters Edge Lodge
The California Department of Social Services conducted a series of unannounced visits to Waters Edge Lodge between October 2022 and December 2024. These inspections, ranging from brief case‑management check‑ins following the transfer of residents from Grand Lake Gardens to full‑length annual reviews, were overseen by Licensing Program Analysts such as C. Lin and Greg Clark. Each visit involved dialogue with facility leadership—including Marketing Directors David Ballerini and administrators Marie Ann Lagasca‑Cruz and Lauren Zimmerman Cook—and collection of staff schedules, resident rosters, and records.
Across all case‑management visits (October 28, November 2, 9 2022 and January 9 2023), staff reported that residents felt safe and that essential supplies—food, paper, PPE—were adequate. No imminent health or safety concerns were identified, and residents who were interviewed expressed satisfaction. The facility consistently maintained adequate perishable and non‑perishable food stocks and upheld proper PPE practices, with a 30‑day supply stored centrally. Infection‑control and annual required inspections in January 2023, December 2023, and December 2024 confirmed the absence of deficiencies in areas such as fire safety, temperature control, lighting, grab bars, non‑skid mats, medication and sharps storage, and the functioning of smoke and carbon‑monoxide detectors. Each inspection required no corrective action beyond routine updates to emergency disaster plans and documentation.
In addition to routine checks, an unsubstantiated complaint investigation was opened on November 7 2022, following a claim that staff had engaged in inappropriate interaction with a resident. The evaluator, Gregory Clark, interviewed staff and reviewed relevant records but found no evidence supporting the allegation, resulting in an unsubstantiated finding.
Overall, the inspection record portrays Waters Edge Lodge as a facility that consistently meets regulatory standards for resident safety, environmental quality, and emergency preparedness. The pattern of regular, unannounced assessments and the absence of any substantiated violations suggest effective compliance and robust internal oversight.
