Inspection History
Inspection Report Summary for Windsong of Sonoma Senior Living
WindSong of Sonoma, a 95‑bed assisted‑living and memory‑care facility located at 815 Wood Sorrel Drive, Petaluma, underwent a series of inspections by the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) between April and August 2023. The initial April 5 visit confirmed the administrator’s knowledge of Title 22 regulations and issued a standard license (LIC 809) with no cited deficiencies. A subsequent unannounced pre‑licensing inspection on May 31 identified mechanical and safety issues, including a malfunctioning delayed‑egress device on the memory‑care exit and hot‑water temperatures that ranged from 124 °F to 133 °F—well above the Title 22 limit of 120 °F. The facility was cited (LIC 809‑D) for these violations and was given a one‑day correction deadline, along with a notice that repeated infractions could result in civil penalties.
During a health‑checks visit on June 15, the same deficiencies persisted; only the egress device was functioning properly after the prior corrective effort, while six resident bathroom faucets continued to deliver water temperatures between 120.6 °F and 122.3 °F. The LPA documented the ongoing shortfall and reaffirmed the citation, emphasizing that failure to correct the hot‑water issue within 12 months would trigger penalties. The visit also highlighted an ongoing issue of resident transfers from Vista Terrace of Belmont, with 35 assisted‑living and 39 memory‑care residents on the unit, and a current census of 74 residents.
A post‑licensing inspection on August 22 reaffirmed compliance in most areas: fire suppression equipment, smoke and carbon‑monoxide detectors, and emergency lighting were all operational and records were up‑to‑date. However, the hot‑water temperature still exceeded regulations in six of ten resident bathroom faucets, all located in memory‑care units, prompting a repeat citation (LIC 809‑D). Despite the recurring hot‑water problem, the facility maintained proper food storage, meal schedules, and a clean, accessible environment, and all staff interactions reflected an understanding of licensing responsibilities.
Across these inspections a clear pattern emerged: WindSong of Sonoma consistently met regulatory expectations for fire safety, staffing, and resident services, yet struggled to maintain hot‑water temperatures within the mandated 105‑120 °F range. The repeated citations underscore the need for a durable corrective plan addressing plumbing and temperature regulation to avoid future penalties and ensure resident comfort and safety.
