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.

Plain-language summary
An inspection on February 24, 2026 found two safety problems in the memory care unit: emergency exit doors that took nearly 50 seconds to open instead of the required 15 to 30 seconds, and large double doors between the residents' living areas and front lobby that residents could not open from the inside, trapping them in one section of the facility for over five months. A resident in a wheelchair was unable to open the doors even after handles were installed during the inspection. The facility was required to develop a plan to fix these problems.
“Based on observation and interviews, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above in, adding large white double doors in the front entrance in-between the front lobby and the residents living quarters without residents being able to open the doors from the residents living quarters; staff and resident interviews indicated that doors were installed more than 5 months ago; resident indicated that residents are not able to open the doors and residents are not allowed to go into the facility’s front lobby; LPA attempted to open the double doors from the residents living quarters but was unable to open the door, which poses/posed a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.”

Plain-language summary
A complaint that families were unable to reach residents by phone was substantiated through interviews with residents, families, and staff conducted in October 2025 and January 2026. While the facility installed a new phone system and trained staff, observations and interviews found that staff still had difficulty answering calls and transferring them to the memory care unit, and families continued to report trouble connecting with their loved ones. The facility was cited for this violation and has been required to take corrective action.
“Based on observations and interviews, the licensee failed to ensure that residents were afforded their personal rights to maintain communication with family and others by not consistently answering the facility phone or properly routing calls intended for residents. Which poses a potential risk to the health, safety and personal rights of the residents in care.”
Read raw inspector notesClose inspector notes
Regarding the allegation “Staff are not answering facility phones,” it is being alleged that residents families are not able to get a hold of the residents in the facility. Records review revealed the following: Although records show that the facility has implemented improvements, including installing a better phone system and conducting staff training with signed acknowledgment forms, residents’ families are still having trouble reaching their loved ones by the facility phone. Observations revealed: On 10/23/2025, LPA observed staff answering calls but noted limited knowledge of transferring calls to the Memory Care unit and no documented training on the new phone system. While calls were observed being answered during the visit, evidence indicates that prior to corrective actions, staff were not consistently able to answer or properly route calls, which negatively impacted residents’ ability to maintain personal relationships and receive calls from family members or emergency contacts. As a result, a Type B deficiency was cited under Title 22 §87468.1(a)(2) (see LIC809 & LIC809-D). On 01/09/2026, additional interviews were conducted and revealed the following: Staff interviews (S1–S9) revealed that nine staff disagreed with the allegation while two staff (S10-S11) agreed. Resident and family witness interviews revealed mixed feedback, with the majority agreeing that calls were not consistently answered. Two residents (R1–R2) and six family witnesses (W1–W6) reported difficulty reaching staff, while five family witnesses (W7–W11) reported no issues. One family member stated that in 2024, reaching staff was a “huge problem,” and although conditions improved in 2025, issues persisted intermittently. Although the facility has taken corrective actions to improve phone accessibility, residents’ families continue to report difficulty reaching their loved ones. Based on the evidence gathered, records reviewed, observations, and interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above-mentioned allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. This is a violation of California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8. A citation is being issued on the attached (LIC-9099D). An exit interview, a copy of this report, and appeal rights were provided to the Administrator.

Plain-language summary
During a case management visit on October 23, 2025, inspectors found that staff had not been trained on how to use newly installed cordless phones, including how to transfer calls to the memory care unit, which could prevent residents from receiving calls from family and emergency contacts. Although two staff members had signed acknowledgment forms, they could not demonstrate how to operate the phone system, and the facility provided no documentation of training on call transfer procedures. The facility was cited for failing to ensure residents have safe and comfortable equipment and can maintain their personal relationships.
“Based on observation and staff interviews, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above as staff were not trained to transfer calls to the memory care unit which poses/posed a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.”

On 10/23/2025 at approximately 9:00AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jose Anguiano conducted a case management visit. LPA observed that staff were answering incoming calls during the visit. However, interviews with staff revealed that they had not received training on how to operate the newly implemented cordless phones, including how to transfer calls to the memory care unit line. Although two staff had signed the “Employee Phone Responsibility Acknowledgement” form, they were unable to demonstrate knowledge of how to use the phone system. The facility was unable to provide documentation showing that staff had been trained on the specific procedures for transferring calls or assisting residents with phone use. As a result, calls intended for residents in the memory care unit may not be properly routed, potentially affecting residents’ ability to receive calls from family members or emergency contacts. This lack of training and procedural clarity impacts the facility’s ability to provide comfortable accommodations and equipment as required under Title 22 regulations. A Type B deficiency is being cited under Tittle 22 regulations section 87468.1(a) (2) for failure to ensure residents are accorded dignity in their personal relationships and provided with safe, healthful, and comfortable accommodations and equipment. An exit interview was conducted with the Administrator. A copy of this report, along with the LIC 809D and appeal rights, were provided.

2025-08-22Annual Compliance VisitType B · 1 finding
Plain-language summary
During a case management visit on August 22, 2025, inspectors found that the resident call system was broken in multiple rooms in the facility's secured dementia unit, and staff had no backup plan in place such as increased room checks or moving residents to other areas while repairs were pending. Because residents with dementia often cannot call for help on their own, a non-working call system delays staff response in emergencies or when residents need assistance. The facility was cited for this violation.
“Based on observation during the health and safety tour of the facility, the resident call system in multiple rooms within the dementia care unit was not functioning. This poses a potential health and safety risk to residents in care.”
