RCFE
A Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) is a non-medical residential care home licensed by California CDSS under Health & Safety Code §1560. Residents receive assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, meals, and medication management in a home-like setting. RCFEs are not hospitals or skilled nursing facilities — they do not provide round-the-clock medical care.

The rules that apply to this facility
California Title 22 requirements for this facility, with the specific regulation and a suggested question for each.
What dementia-care training must staff complete?22 CCR §87705 / HSC §1569.625
Because this facility markets dementia or Alzheimer's care, state law mandates higher training standards:
- 12 hours initial dementia training — 6 hours before a staff member works independently with residents, 6 more within the first 4 weeks.
- 8 hours annual dementia in-service — required every year thereafter.
- Administrator CE — the administrator must include 8 hours of dementia-specific continuing education in every 2-year recertification cycle.
Training must cover individualized care plans, behavioral expressions, appropriate supervision, and the facility's dementia care philosophy.
Ask on tour: Ask how dementia training records are kept — families may request documentation.
How many staff must be on duty overnight?22 CCR §87415
Based on 99 licensed beds:
One awake caregiver must be on duty, plus one additional caregiver on call who can respond within 10 minutes.
Violation pattern to watch for:A facility that documents a staff member as "on call" but with that person physically off-site — when the law requires on-premises presence — is in violation of this section.
Ask on tour: Ask the facility to walk you through their overnight staffing plan and confirm whether on-call staff are on premises or off-site.
What health conditions can this facility legally accept or refuse?22 CCR §87612–87615

- 24-hour skilled nursing needs
- Total ADL dependence with inability to communicate needs
A hospice waiver (HSC §1569.73) can allow continued care for residents on hospice who would otherwise fall into a prohibited category.
Ask on tour: Ask whether your loved one's specific care needs are restricted or prohibited, and what the facility's process is if needs change after admission.
What must this facility report to the state — and how fast?22 CCR §87211 / WIC §15630

Unsubstantiated — the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) investigated and did not find a violation.
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation found no evidence of medication errors—all medications were properly administered and logged according to doctors' orders, and staff and residents interviewed reported no problems. A second complaint about staff not responding to call buttons was also unsubstantiated; call logs and interviews showed staff typically responded within 5–12 minutes, and interviewed residents had no concerns, though staff occasionally forgot to clear call button requests after assisting residents.
View full inspector notes
Staff are mismanaging resident's medication Based on documents obtained and statements reviewed for September and October of 2025, the department determined that there was insufficient evidence that any medication errors have occurred. Documents obtained show that all current medications were administered and logged correctly for residents per their doctor’s orders. Eight staff interviews (8) indicated that staff were not aware of any medication errors. Four resident interviews (4) expressed no concerns with medication administration. Based upon the information obtained during investigation, the above allegation is unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Staff did not respond to resident's calls for assistance During the investigation, the Department conducted interviews and reviewed documentation pertinent to the investigation. The results of the investigation are as follows: Based on call logs and interviews, the typical response time for staff responding to a resident’s call alert ranges from 5–12 minutes. Residents interviewed stated they have not had issues with staff not responding to call buttons timely. Staff interviews indicated that staff usually respond to resident’s call buttons within 10-15 minutes. Staff did state that occasionally after assisting a resident, staff will forget to clear the call button request whereas documents may seem that residents are waiting for assistance longer. Based upon the information obtained during investigation, the above allegation is unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Exit interview conducted. Report left with facility.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sabrina Calzada arrived unannounced to conduct a case management inspection to follow up on an incident report submitted to the Department on February 4, 2026. LPA met with Alyssa Kayl, Resident Care Coordinator, and Robert DeVol, Health and Wellness Director (HWD) stating the reason for today's inspection. LPA later met with Jose Barajas, Administrator Designee. LPA discussed the incident more in detail when staff went to get (R1) from their room and bring them to the dining room for lunch, and (R1) had started choking while eating." Care staff began the Heimlich maneuver, and then (R1) turned blue, lost consciousness and no pulse was detected. (S1) then began CPR and (R1) began breathing, and was taken to the emergency room for further medical evaluation. The facility was advised by the family that (R1) had been diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and was doing much better the following morning, January 31, 2026, after being administered antibiotics. (R1) returned to the community on February 2, 2026 with no new medications or diet changes. The HWD stated the family instructed the facility to cut (R1's) food in small bites, with sips of liquid in between each bite. LPA reviewed and obtained copies of paperwork related to resident (R1). The Physician's Report (5/3/2025) does not indicate (R1) had any special diet prior to the incident. Since (R1) returned form the hospital, staff have been trying to encourage and bring (R1) to the dining room for all meals so they can have more supervision/eyes on them. (R1) has been adjusting fairly well to this new routine and has recovered fully from this incident. It appears the facility took appropriate steps in responding timely to (R1's) choking. There are no deficiencies issued in this report. Exit interview. Copy of report provided to Administrator Designee.

Sometimes showers are moved around but the shower is usually pushed back to the next shift. If a resident is not feeling well, they will ask staff to come back at a later time or to be moved to another day. Resident interviews revealed that some have hospice come in and give them showers also. Allegation: Staff do not ensure residents’ incontinence needs are being met-Unfounded Interviews revealed that staff check on residents every one to two hours for incontinence care needs. Depending on residents care needs, they may be checked more than every two hours. Residents will also push their pendants if they need any assistances between checks and staff respond. Allegation: Staff are not repositioning resident as needed- Unfounded The department conducted interviews with residents and staff regarding this allegation. Interviews with staff revealed that they reposition residents every two hours unless care plans specify otherwise. Resident interviews revealed that they have staff that come in and reposition them throughout the day. Allegation: Staff did not prevent resident from developing a pressure injury-Unfounded Interviews with residents revealed they currently do not have any pressure injuries or if they do they are being treated by hospice. Staff interviews revealed that those who do have a pressure injury they are already being treated by hospice. Allegation: Staff do not ensure residents' hygiene needs are being met-Unfounded Interviews with staff revealed that a resident’s care needs are documented on their care plan. Staff assist resident’s with hygiene needs based on a resident’s care plan and the resident’s preference. Allegation: Staff do not ensure that resident has clean bedding- Unfounded Interviews revealed that housekeeping will clean the bedding on the day the resident’s room is cleaned. In between that time care staff will observe to see if the sheets need to be changed in-between. If bedding needs to be changed, caregivers will change the bedding. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Allegation: Staff do ensure resident rooms are clean and sanitary-Unfounded Housekeeping cleans the resident’s rooms once a week. In between that time if some additional cleaning is needed caregivers will assist. LPA observed nine (9) residents bedrooms. All rooms were observed to be clean and sanitary. Some residents do have animals. Those animals are the residents responsibility and to clean up after them if they are to go in their rooms. Residents who can no longer care for their animals families will hire outside help to come in and care for the animal. Interviews revealed that staff will clean up the animal feces if they see it when they are in the rooms. Based on information obtained through interviews, the Department finds the allegation to be UNFOUNDED, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was left at the facility.

Inspector: Cheyenne Ratajczak
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation looked into a resident's death in May 2025 following a ground-level fall in February 2025 that caused a small brain bleed, as well as allegations of multiple falls causing serious injury. The investigation found no evidence that the facility was negligent—the resident had only two major falls during two years at the facility and was not considered a fall risk, and a deputy coroner stated the brain bleed in a 100-year-old resident was a common outcome that could not be linked to any specific fall. Both allegations were unsubstantiated.
View full inspector notes
Allegation: Questionable death- Unsubstantiated A review of R1’s death certificate listed that they passed away in May 2025 due to a Traumatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage due to a ground level fall with a time interval between onset and death listed as months. On 02/13/2025, R1 sustained an unwitnessed fall and was sent to the hospital. Medical records show a “possible small left frontal Intracerebral Hemorrhage.” No fractures or other injuries were documented in the medical records. R1 was placed on hospice following this incident. Conflicting statements were provided on whether R1 sustained additional minor falls after 02/13/2025 and while being on hospice. Deputy Coroner (DC) stated that the multiple falls made the brain bleed “a little worse each time.” DC stated this is “common in older people though, especially with R1 being 100 years old.” DC was not concerned that R1 may have passed away due to neglect by the facility staff. DC stated there is “no way” of knowing which fall contributed to R1’s death. It is unclear if the major fall on 02/13/2025 was as a result of staff neglect. Prior to that, R1 had only sustained one fall at the facility on 05/20/2024 and did not require any specialized fall interventions or special checks. Allegation: Resident sustained multiple falls resulting in serious bodily injury- Unsubstantiated Records revealed that R1 resided at the facility for approximately two years and sustained two major falls during that time. The first fall occurred on 05/20/2024 and resulted in a skin tear. The second fall occurred on 02/13/2025 and resulted in a “possible small left frontal Intracerebral Hemorrhage.” No fractures or other injuries were documented in the medical records. Records and interviews support that R1 was not a fall risk and was primarily independent. R1 did not require specialized checks or specific fall measures. Conflicting statements were provided on whether R1 sustained additional minor falls while residing at the facility indicating need for specialized fall prevention interventions. R1 sustained an additional fall on 04/04/2025 while on hospice. Hospice care staff were notified and directed the facility staff to not send R1 to the hospital due to no injuries seen. Based on this information, these allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED . Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report and appeal rights left at the facility.
Regulation
(a)Each licensee shall furnish to the licensing agency such reports as the Department may require, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) A written report shall be submitted to the licensing agency and to the person responsible for the resident within seven days of the occurrence of any of the events specified in (A) through (D) below. …
Inspector finding
Based on record review, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above in incident reports were missing or not created regarding R1’s fall which poses/posed a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.

Plain-language summary
A complaint alleged the facility failed to update care plans for residents, but investigators found no violation of this requirement. During an inspection visit on August 20, 2024, staff were actively updating care plans for seven residents as required, and the facility has a system in place to notify staff when updates are due every six months for existing residents and at the two-week mark for new arrivals. Investigators confirmed through staff interviews that caregivers provide input on these updates, and the facility maintains records showing plans are being updated on schedule.
View full inspector notes
Allegation: Facility did not update Needs and Services Plans for residents.- Unfounded The Department reviewed records and conducted interviews to investigate the allegation that the facility did not update Needs and Services Plans for residents. During the course of the investigation, LPA reviewed the needs and service plans for seven (7) residents who were said to be due for a reassessment during the month of August based off the system that the facility uses. Every six (6) months the system notifies staff that a reassessment is needed. It also notifies staff at the fourteen (14) day mark for a new resident in case changes need to be made to the assessment. Six (6) of the residents were due for a reassessment due to the fact it has been six (6) months since their last one. One (1) resident was due for a reassessment because they had just moved into the facility and was at their fourteen (14) day mark. During LPAs visit on 08/20/24 Staff #1 (S1) was in the middle of updating the seven (7) residents needs and service plan. S1 explained to LPA that at the beginning of the month they print out all needs and service plans that are due and post in caregiver office. Doing this allows all caregivers to give their input on each resident and make note of things that have changed. Based on information obtained through interviews, the Department finds the allegation to be UNFOUNDED, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was left at the facility.

Plain-language summary
An investigation of complaints that staff were not meeting residents' showering and general care needs found no violation. Staff interviews revealed occasional delays in responding to requests and some missed showers when caregivers call out, but resident interviews indicated that showers are generally provided and other care needs are being met, with some residents choosing to shower themselves if a scheduled shower is missed.
View full inspector notes
Allegation: Staff are not meeting residents showering needs LPA conducted interviews with four (4) staff and eight (8) residents. Resident interviews revealed that some resident’s showers do get missed while other residents stated that their showers do not get missed. One resident stated that sometimes their shower will get missed but if that happens, they will just take a shower by themself. One resident was offered to be switched to evenings to prevent missed morning showers. Interviews with caregivers revealed that three (3) caregivers work per shift. They are referred to as clusters. Cluster 1 and Cluster 2 are responsible for the overall needs of residents throughout that shift. Cluster 3 is responsible for showers and laundry for a handful of residents. Interviews further revealed that when someone calls out for their shift, especially the person who is cluster 3, it can be hard to make sure residents get the showers since caregivers now have to figure out who is going to assist with showers. Showers are set to be 30 minutes for each resident. Staff stated that occasionally showers take longer depending on the extent and then having to assist the resident in getting dressed. When this happens, it can set the caregiver back on showers. If AM shift misses a shower, they ask PM if they can fit it in. If not, they will ask residents if they can shower the next day. Based upon the information obtained during investigation, the above allegation is unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Allegation: Staff are not meeting residents needs Staff interviews indicated that they are not neglecting residents, but it can take them a while to respond to a page. Additionally, staff stated that sometimes the pagers do not work, or they are off on their timing. Staff stated that many residents will not push their call button because they know it can take a while. Resident interviews revealed that they feel like all their other needs are being met. One resident stated they understand that there are more residents than staff and that they just try to be mindful that staff may be with another resident. Based upon the information obtained during investigation, the above allegation is unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

Unsubstantiated — the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) investigated and did not find a violation.
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation found no evidence that staff failed to give medications as prescribed — a medication audit showed all four residents reviewed received their medications correctly and on schedule. A second allegation that the facility illegally evicted a resident could not be proven or disproven due to conflicting accounts from staff interviews, so that complaint was also unsubstantiated.
View full inspector notes
Allegation: Staff did not give resident medication as prescribed: On 03/28/24 LPA Ratajczak and LPA Mirlohi conducted a medication audit for four (4) residents. LPAs compared each residents Medication Administration Record (MAR) with medications centrally stored for the resident. MARs indicated that medications were administered and logged correctly and were given to residents per their doctor's orders. Based upon the information obtained during investigation, the above allegation is unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Allegation: Staff illegally evicted resident LPA conducted interviews and a record review of R1s file. It was suggested by the Health and Wellness Director that R1 gets reevaluated, because R1 was no longer at their baseline. Additionally, the Health and Wellness Director recommended that R1 have a one-on-one. ED was not present during the incident but was aware of what was taking place. ED was planning to put in a referral with their sister community Cogir of Folsom for R1. When the facility notices a change in a resident, the facility will get the resident reevaluated. If it is noted that a higher level of care is needed, the facility will put in a referral to move the resident to their sister community, Cogir of Folsom. During the course of this investigation the department interviewed multiple individuals and was provided with conflicting information regarding if R1 was given a verbal eviction. LPA cannot prove or disprove if a verbal eviction was issued based on the different version of events. Based upon the information obtained during investigation, the above allegation is unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

Unsubstantiated — the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) investigated and did not find a violation.
Plain-language summary
A complaint alleged that a resident died after staff turned off their oxygen concentrator and did not replace it with backup oxygen. The investigation found inconsistent accounts from staff and confirmed that the oxygen machine was not working, but medical experts could not determine whether the lack of oxygen caused or contributed to the resident's death, so the allegation could not be substantiated.
View full inspector notes
On 07/19/2023, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Personnel were dispatched to Cogir of Stock for a resident (R1) with shortness of breath. Upon arrival at the facility EMS personnel observed that R1’s oxygen concentrator was turned off. Two (2) EMS personnel reported that they heard staff (S1) state the machine had been turned off the prior night because it was beeping. S1 was asked about a back-up oxygen tank and nasal cannula was not in place. S1 stated they had called for a new machine and were told one would be delivered the next day. S1 told EMS, “We didn’t know what else to do.” The Department interviewed and received statements from a total of eleven (11) facility staff and two (2) residents. Interview statement received from S1 indicated that the concentrator was alarming on 07/18/2023, and S1 called Apria Health Care to request a new concentrator. S1 made inconsistent statements about when S1 first noticed R1’s oxygen concentrator was turned off and cannula not in place, before calling 911. When S1 was first interviewed, S1 stated R1’s oxygen was off and nasal cannula was not in place when S1 first checked on R1. During a follow-up interview, S1 stated did not remember noticing R1’s nasal cannula and only recalled being aware of the concentrator being off during the second medication passing, when S1 discovered R1 having shortness of breath and calling 911. S1 denied telling EMS that the machine had been turned off and stated S1 had later assumed that the overnight shift must have turned the machine off. Multiple staff were interviewed, and all denied turning the machine off. Interview statement received from overnight staff (S2) admitted that the machine had been alarming and had quit working sometime early in the night, but that S2 had been able to reset the concentrator to get it working again. Medical records obtained and witness statements provided that R1 had been previously diagnosed and treated for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in June 2023. It was noted that R1 had a history of chronic respiratory failure. Medical personnel were interviewed and stated it would be difficult to determine if a lack of supplemental oxygen preceded or contributed to R1’s death. R1’s pronouncing physician was interviewed and stated R1’s respiratory failure could have happened for several reasons, regardless of R1 being on or off oxygen. Therefore, there is not sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegation of wrongful death. Based on the Department’s investigation as stated above, the preponderance of evidence standards has not been met. Therefore, the above allegations are found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED . A finding that a complaint allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Exit interview conducted and report provided.
