Inspection Report Summary for WindChime of Marin Memory Care

The 2021 inspections of Wind Chime of Marin found the facility operating in compliance with California’s Title 22 standards. During the unannounced annual visit on June 25, 2021, LPAs Farhaan Sarangi and Erik Gonzalez‑Campos noted a clean environment, proper food storage, and adequate PPE. Staff were reminded to wear masks and gloves, and no deficiencies were cited. The September 17, 2021 case‑management inspection addressed a resident‑staff incident that had been self‑reported. After interviewing Administrator Brittany Karlinski and reviewing the incident documentation, the LPA found no violations and issued no deficiencies, noting that training on reporting requirements would be provided internally.

The May 26, 2022 infection‑control inspection revealed several safety and regulatory gaps that required corrective action. LPAs observed that toxins, including Lysol and nail polish remover, were stored in unlocked areas accessible to residents, and a box of razors, nail clippers, and scissors was found in a resident’s bathroom. Hot‑water temperatures in seven of nine bathrooms exceeded the Title 22 range of 105‑120 °F, posing a burn risk. The facility had a mitigation plan approved in 2021 and maintained an adequate PPE supply, but the deficiencies prompted a plan of correction and required documentation of staff training, updated emergency plans, and proof of liability insurance. The LPA also noted that fire‑extinguishers and the sprinkler system were in service and that disaster drills had been conducted quarterly.

Across the three visits, a pattern emerges: initial compliance with basic hygiene and licensing requirements gave way to emerging safety risks related to resident self‑care environments and regulatory documentation. While the 2021 inspections were largely positive, the 2022 inspection highlighted the need for improved storage practices, temperature controls, and staff education to maintain the facility’s compliance and ensure resident safety.
