About this facility
Ivy Park at Hayward is a state-licensed residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE) at 1200 Russell Way in Hayward, California. Licensed for 170 beds and flagged in state records as offering memory care, this facility serves older adults who may be living with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or related cognitive conditions. The operator listed with the California Department of Social Services is Hayward Sr. Hsng. I Opco Llc and Oakmont Mgmt Grp Llc. The facility holds license number 019200922 and is currently licensed and operating.
Memory care approach
As a California RCFE licensed for memory care, Ivy Park at Hayward operates under Title 22 regulations that impose specific requirements for serving residents with dementia. These include individualized care plans addressing cognitive decline, staff trained in dementia-specific techniques, and safeguards against wandering. State inspection records show two citations under the dementia-care standards (§87705 or §87706), indicating that regulators have specifically evaluated the facility's compliance with these memory-care obligations. The facility's inspection history includes six Type A deficiencies (citations involving actual harm to residents), which is a notable finding families should inquire about directly. Asking staff how they have addressed past citations and what protocols are now in place is reasonable and recommended.
Location & neighborhood
Ivy Park at Hayward is located on Russell Way in Hayward, California. The East Bay generally has mild weather year-round, which can support outdoor visits when the facility permits them. Beyond the street address and city, no specific neighborhood details appear in the source data provided.
What families should know
Between the facility's licensing and the most recent inspection on December 2, 2025, California CDSS records show 31 inspection reports on file. These reports document 12 total deficiencies, including six Type A citations (actual harm to residents) and two citations under the dementia-specific care standards (§87705 or §87706). The records also show 12 complaints investigated. Six Type A deficiencies is a significant number that warrants direct conversation with facility leadership about what occurred and what corrective measures were implemented. Bed availability, current staffing ratios, and monthly costs are not included in state licensing data. Families should contact Ivy Park at Hayward directly and request a copy of the most recent LIC 809 inspection report before making any placement decision.

An inspector visited the facility on December 2, 2025, to follow up on unusual incident reports, including a resident who wandered off the property in November, a resident death following a fall and hospitalization, and a report of missing cash from a resident's room. The inspector found that the resident with dementia who had wandered away was not properly assessed for their actual care needs, and the facility's front door lacked an alarm system to alert staff when residents leave—both violations of state regulations.

Substantiated — CDSS found violations related to this complaint.
A complaint investigation found that a resident who required two staff members during transfers was repeatedly transferred by only one person, resulting in multiple falls and a serious leg fracture that required hospitalization. Staff acknowledged they fell "every single day" and admitted they could not provide the level of care this resident needed but kept her at the facility anyway, and the wheelchair did not even fit through her bedroom and bathroom doors. All three allegations—the fracture, multiple falls during transfers, and failure to provide appropriate assistance—were substantiated, and the facility was assessed a civil penalty.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES COMMUNITY CARE LICENSING DIVISION CCLD Regional Office , 1515 CLAY STREET, STE. 310 OAKLAND , CA 94612 Page 2 Allegation: Resident sustained a fracture while in care. LIC602A Physician’s Report showed R1 as non-ambulatory, cannot bathe self and not able to care for own toileting needs. FM1 stated she took R1 to the hospital in April 2023 where R1 was assessed and determined R1 needs a wheelchair. R1 was then upgraded to a tier two, which means R1 needs two people assistance during transfers. FM1 further indicated she has witnessed R1 being transferred by only one person “multiple times”. Incident reports dated 2/27/23, 4/07/23, 6/29/23, 7/14/23, 7/15/23, and 7/26/23 noted R1 sustaining the same type of fall while the facility staff walked R1 to the bathroom. Incident report dated 7/26/23 noted that R1 was helped up from bed and was about to walk with walker to the bathroom when R1’s legs gave out and R1 indicated her legs getting weak and were hurting. R1 fell on her knees and facility staff helped R1 sit up. Lift assist was called to help get R1 up, but R1 could not get up after several attempts with the medics. R1 was taken to the hospital. Medical Records reflected that R1 sustained a displaced supracondylar fracture without intercondylar extension of the lower end of her left femur. Based on records review and interviews, the allegation is substantiated. Allegation: Resident had multiple falls during transfers. FM1 stated she took R1 to the hospital in April 2023 where R1 was assessed and determined R1 needs a wheelchair. R1 was then upgraded to a tier two, which means R1 needs two people assistance during transfers.FM1 further indicated she has witnessed R1 being transferred by only one person “multiple times”. Incident reports dated 02/27/2023, 4/07/23, 6/29/23, 7/14/23, 7/15/23, and 7/26/23 note R1 sustaining the same type of fall while the facility staff walked R1 to the bathroom. Lift assist had to be called each time in order to get R1 up. Facility staff admitted that R1 would fall “every single day”. All facility staff interviewed stated they did not believe they could provide the level of care R1 required but kept R1 at the facility anyway. In April of 2023, R1 returned from the hospital to the facility confined to a wheelchair, however, the wheelchair did not fit through R1’s bedroom or bathroom door. Two facility staff would have to physically lift R1 out of R1’s wheelchair and into a standing position supported by R1’s walker. Facility staff would then walk behind R1 as she walked into her bedroom and bathroom. R1’s physical condition prevented her from walking at all which caused R1 to fall constantly. Therefore, the allegation is substantiated. ......continued on 9099C (page 3) SUPERVISORS NAME : Bennett Fong LICENSING EVALUATOR NAME : Alicia Delmundo LICENSING EVALUATOR SIGNATURE : DATE: 06/04/2025 I acknowledge receipt of this form and understand my licensing appeal rights as explained and received.

SUPERVISORS NAME : Pam Gill LICENSING EVALUATOR NAME : Bennett Fong LICENSING EVALUATOR SIGNATURE : DATE: 03/08/2025 I acknowledge receipt of this form and understand my licensing appeal rights as explained and received. CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES COMMUNITY CARE LICENSING DIVISION CCLD Regional Office , 1515 CLAY STREET, STE. 310 OAKLAND , CA 94612 Allegation: Facility staff did not administer medication to resident according to physician's instructions. Unsubstantiated. It was alleged that facility staff did not administer medication to resident (R1) according to physician's instructions. Reporting party (RP) stated R1 was admitted to the facility on 2016, and from 2016 to 2019, R1 was administered insulin. It was further alleged that the Humalog injection was discontinued on 2019, and facility retained R1 that the facility could no longer care for as R1 has diabetes and needs insulin. These dates are all prior to the current License for this facility issued on 10/09/2020. R1’s family member (FM) was interviewed who stated R1 was admitted to the facility 2016 and had (Humalog) insulin medication which facility discontinued to administer July 2019. FM received a bill in October 2019 that did not include R1’s insulin medications. FM indicated that staff S1 (facility’s registered nurse) told FM that as of October 2019, staff stopped giving R1 insulin injections. Review of records showed the facility sent request to R1’s primary care physician (PCP) to discontinue the Humalog sliding scale as Casa Sandoval scope of service does not allow the use of sliding scale insulin since non-clinical caregivers are assisting with the injections. PCP ordered Humalog sliding scale to be discontinued on July 24, 2019. When R1 was seen by PCP the After Visit Summary dated November 5, 2019 showed medications that were ordered to be continued included Humalog and Novolog.

None of the facility staff were aware R1 had sustained a fracture as R1 never complained of any pain, other than back pain from sitting in the recliner too long. Staff found out about the fracture when R1’s son, FM, reported it to the facility after R1’s hospitalization. During FM’s interview, FM stated R1 initially denied falling but later recalled she had and did not tell staff. A review of Hospital Discharge Summary stated R1 sustained a left femoral fracture from a fall. Orthopedist (MD2) confirmed R1’s fracture was due to a fall but was unable to tell whether the fracture was old or new. The Department interviewed R1 but R1 was unable to provide information. Based upon interviews, records review, and conflicting information obtained, the Department has investigated this allegation and determined that it could not be proven that R1s injuries were recent or new, nor that they were the result of insufficient care and supervision.

An unannounced complaint investigation was conducted in January 2025 into allegations that the facility failed to seek timely medical attention for a resident, improperly assisted with medical needs, did not respond to a family member's requests for communication, and opened a resident's mail. All four allegations were found to be unsubstantiated — staff records showed a 911 call was made for the resident's high blood pressure, urine samples were sent through the facility's authorized lab partners with family notification, staff had documented frequent phone and text communications with the family member, and staff explained that mail was only photographed to alert the family about time-sensitive insurance renewal.

Unsubstantiated — CDSS investigated and did not find violations.
This complaint investigation examined an incident on January 14, 2023, when a resident was found unconscious on his room floor and hospitalized with a very high blood alcohol level. The facility's records showed the resident was given multiple cups of vodka in the early morning hours on the days in question, far exceeding the documented permission from his previous conservator to provide only one small bottle at night. The investigation concluded that while evidence suggested the facility may have given the resident excessive alcohol, there was insufficient proof to substantiate a violation.
View full inspector notes
UIR indicated that at 1:30 am on 1/14/23, R1 was found on the floor of his room, was breathing but unable to be awaken. 9-1-1 was called and R1 was transported to the hospital. Hospital Discharge Summary showed diagnosis of alcohol intoxication among others with alcohol level of 244 on arrival, and that R1 stated he drinks ‘too much’ Vodka. On 1/19/23, LPA interviewed staff (S1 and S2) and R1’s current conservator (C1). S2 confirmed the incident happened on 1/14/23. S1 stated R1 is allowed 1 drink of travel size of Vodka of about 2 oz/day, but it doesn’t mean R1 will not ask for more and if not given, R1 will become belligerent. C1 stated that when he visited R1 one morning, C1 observed a stain in the carpet in R1’s room on which the staff stated that it’s alcohol. Review of records showed R1’s former conservator (C2) gave permission to the facility to purchase Vodka, not to give all at once and only let R1 consume 1 small bottle at night only. Facility's Alcohol Intake Records for R1 showed R1 was given from 2 to 3 times in the evening of which each time R1 was given 2 to 4 cups of 5 oz/cup. Records also showed there were days when R1 was given 5 oz at 1:00 am, 1:20 am, 1:30 am, 2:30 am and on those days, R1 was also given at night. Based on information gathered, the preponderance of evidence is met, therefore, the allegation is substantiated. Deficiency is cited from Title 22 California Code of Regulations and listed on 9099D.

Continued from LIC9099. Interviews with R2, R4, and R5 indicated they have felt safe during the renovation and the elevators have been working normal. LPA observed residents walking outside in common area and it didn't appear the scaffolding was obstructing or unsafe for the residents. LPA also timed the elevator from one floor to another when button was pushed. It took 30 seconds for the elevator to come from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor. LPA observed 3 elevators throughout the facility. Residents in care appear to be safe and there are no imminent health/safety concerns on today's date. Based upon the interviews and observations during the 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 and a copy of report was given.
