Inspection Report Summary for Carmel Valley Manor

Carmel Valley Manor’s community‑care license has been consistently upheld across six unannounced inspections from November 2021 through November 2024. Each annual visit—conducted by the California Department of Social Services—found the facility in compliance with state regulations, noting clear fire routes, properly secured medication and hazardous‑material storage, and adequate food supplies. Staff were observed wearing masks, maintaining COVID‑19 screening protocols, and holding current vaccination or exemption documentation, while emergency plans, disaster drills, and equipment such as fire extinguishers and carbon‑monoxide detectors were all verified as operational.

Throughout the year‑long review cycle, the facility’s documentation remained robust: all required personnel, administrative, and resident records were current, and no deficiencies were cited. The repeated emphasis on infection‑control signage, hand‑washing stations, and personal protective equipment reflected a continued commitment to resident safety, even as the resident census fluctuated between 21 and 199. The inspectors consistently praised the cleanliness of resident rooms, bathrooms (with grab bars and non‑skid mats), and common areas, and noted that meal preparation and storage met state food‑service standards.

The most recent visit in June 2025 shifted focus to case management, confirming that a previously excluded staff member had no access to the property. No new issues were identified, and the facility maintained its record of compliance. Overall, Carmel Valley Manor’s licensing history demonstrates a pattern of diligent operational practices, effective infection‑control measures, and proactive documentation—ensuring ongoing compliance and resident safety across the evaluated years.
