The rules that apply to this facility.
State requirements with the exact regulation citation, plain-language explanation, and a question to ask on tour. Rules this facility has been cited for appear first.
Plain language
Because a facility markets dementia or Alzheimer's care, state law mandates higher training standards: 12 hours of initial dementia training (6 hours before a staff member works independently with residents, 6 more within the first 4 weeks), 8 hours of annual dementia in-service every year thereafter, and an 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
“Can you show me each direct-care staffer's most recent dementia training certificate, and tell me when their next refresher is due?”
Questions to ask before you visit.
A short pre-tour checklist tailored to Claremont Manor's record and state requirements.
The facility holds a 360-bed license under operator Front Porch Communities and Services — can you provide documentation showing the current license status and confirmation that all beds remain in good standing with CDSS?
Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.
No inspection reports appear in the CDSS Transparency API for license 198601672 — can you provide the most recent CDSS inspection report the facility has on file, along with any deficiency notices or compliance letters issued since the license was granted?
Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.
The facility is not designated for memory care in CDSS licensing records — if you accept residents with dementia, can you provide the written dementia-care program required by Title 22 §87705 and explain how care differs from what is provided to residents without cognitive impairment?
Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

Allegation: Staff do not meet a resident's incontinence needs It is alleged that the facility does not change R1’s diapers frequently enough, which is causing R1 to get urinary tract infections. During staff interviews, staff consistently stated that they assist R1 with ADLs, including grooming, showers, and incontinence care, and that residents requiring increased incontinence care are checked regularly. Staff stated that care provided is documented, including toileting and brief changes, and that staff respond to R1’s requests for assistance as promptly as possible. Staff stated that care plans and hospice plans are available and followed, and that care is individualized based on R1’s preferences and needs. Staff denied concerns of neglect and stated that R1 has not complained about incontinent care. During the resident interview, R1 stated that the facility provides her with everything she needs and that staff treat her well. R1 expressed satisfaction with her living environment and stated that her overall health is good. R1 stated she does not like hospice services and would prefer to return to her prior routine. R1 acknowledged the history of UTIs and reported she is currently taking antibiotics. During resident interviews, residents R2–R8 stated they are satisfied with the care being provided and reported no concerns regarding incontinence care. During W1 interview, W1 stated that R1 has resided at the facility for over eight years and expressed no concerns regarding the services provided. W1 reported regular communication with the hospice nurse and stated that a new incontinence care plan was developed to help reduce recurrent UTIs, noting that UTIs can be common with aging.

During W2 interview, W2 stated their duties include assessing the resident, conducting regular check-ins, and coordinating care to support the resident’s comfort and well-being. W1 stated that R1 prefers care to be provided in a specific manner and that a care plan was developed between W2, R1 and W1.

W2 stated their role is oversight and care coordination, with caregivers providing direct incontinence care per the care plan. W2 stated that they do not believe the facility neglects residents and would feel comfortable having their own family reside at the facility. Based on the investigation conducted, including interviews with staff, witnesses and residents and review of relevant records, there was insufficient evidence to support the reported allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED .
