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 120 licensed beds:

One awake caregiver on duty, one on-call caregiver physically on premises, and one additional on-call caregiver.

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

Restricted — allowed with physician order + care plan

  • Supplemental oxygen
  • Insulin and injectable medications
  • Indwelling or intermittent catheters
  • Colostomy / ileostomy
  • Stage 1 and Stage 2 pressure injuries
  • Wound care (non-complex)
  • Incontinence
  • Contractures

Prohibited — facility must refuse or discharge

  • Stage 3 or Stage 4 pressure injuries
  • Feeding tubes (PEG, NG, or J-tube)
  • Tracheostomies
  • Active MRSA or communicable infections requiring isolation
  • 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
  • ImmediateElopement, fire, epidemic outbreak, or poisoningImmediately
  • 2 hoursAbuse with serious bodily injury2-hour phone report + 2-hour written report — to the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), Adult Protective Services, and law enforcement
  • 24 hrsAbuse without serious bodily injuryWithin 24 hours
  • Next dayDeath of a residentPhone by next working day; written within 7 days
  • Next dayInjury requiring medical treatment beyond first aidPhone by next working day; written within 7 days
  • WrittenBankruptcy, foreclosure, eviction, or utility shutoff noticeWritten notice to CDSS and residents — $100/day penalty (max $2,000) for failure

Your enforcement lever:Incidents that aren't reported on time are themselves a separate violation. If you believe a reportable event wasn't filed, you can submit a complaint directly to the California Department of Social Services (CDSS).

How does CDSS enforce these rules?22 CCR §87755–87777 / HSC §1569.58
  1. 1Notice of DeficiencyWritten citation with a correction deadline. Facility must submit a Plan of Correction.
  2. 2Civil PenaltyStarts at $50/day for non-serious; $150/day for serious deficiencies — immediately, with no grace period. Repeats escalate to $150 first day + $50/day, then $1,000 first day + $100/day.
  3. 3Suspension of AdmissionsFacility cannot accept new residents until violations are corrected.
  4. 4Temporary Suspension or RevocationEmergency suspension for imminent danger; full revocation after administrative hearing.
  5. 5Exclusion OrderAdministrator and operator can be barred from all CDSS-licensed facilities — not just this one.

Questions to ask on your tour

Based on Atria del Sol's state inspection record.

Inspector: Kimberly Lyman

Unsubstantiated — the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) investigated and did not find a violation.

Plain-language summary

This was an inspection visit where investigators looked into allegations about a resident's care and living conditions.

if not in the common areas. Six out of six staff state grooming and hygiene needs were being met although the resident would frequently refuse grooming as well as incontinence care. Facility staffing in memory care is as follows: Three caregivers/ med tech for 1st and 2nd shift depending on census and 1 caregiver/ med tech for NOC shift. The resident had a cat and six out of six staff state caring for the cat as well as cleaning the cat box. Due to the propensity of the cat to vomit and incontinence needs, carpet cleaning was conducted 1-2 times per week at a minimum and Maintenance confirms this service. Review of housekeeping records show the resident's room was being regularly cleaned. LPA observed no odors in the facility on three different visits. Physician order dated 02/05/2025 indicates resident was prescribed Seroquel 25mg the evening of 02/05/2025. Medication administration record shows the facility was waiting for the prescription to be filled prior to the resident being hospitalized for a urinary tract infection on 02/09/2025. Facility staff indicate insurance issues and a change in protocol of the pharmacy may have resulted in the delay in filling the prescription. Staff indicate an incident where the resident's family member was inadvertently told the resident had received the medication when in fact the medication was not on-site yet. LPA reviewed two physician orders for Tylenol and Ativan as routine medications following Atria's policy of no PRN medications in the memory care unit. Both were signed by R1's personal physician. Based on observations and interviews conducted, LPA is unable to corroborate the allegations. Therefore, the allegations are deemed unsubstantiated, meaning that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator and a copy of this report was provided to facility.

No deficiencies

Inspector: Ruth Martinez

Unsubstantiated — the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) investigated and did not find a violation.

Plain-language summary

A complaint alleged that staff left a resident in soiled diapers for extended periods and overmedicated the resident without notifying the resident's authorized representative; however, the resident had moved out of the facility before the investigation, making it impossible to verify these claims. Medication records showed doses were given as prescribed, and staff reported they routinely informed the authorized representative about the resident's care, but conflicting information meant inspectors could not prove or disprove the allegations. The complaint was deemed unsubstantiated due to insufficient evidence.

View full inspector notes

staff S2 indicated that a call was made to R1’s POA when this occurred and that any time there was any adverse reaction or behavior with R1. S2 indicated that they have made those calls and indicated that R1’s POA is very involved with the care of R1 and therefore staff are very mindful of always providing information to POA. It is alleged that staff left resident in soiled diapers for an extended period of times. LPA conducted a site visit on June 10, 2024, and was unable to make observations to R1 as R1 had moved out of the facility May 01, 2024. Interviews with 1 of 2 staff indicated that R1 could get very combative at times and did not allow for staff to give R1 proper care until R1 would calm down. Based on the information available through record review and interviews, LPA is unable to corroborate or refute that a violation occurred as alleged as the information collected is conflicting. It is alleged that staff overmedicated resident. Records review MAR for January – May 2024 indicates that medication was given to R1 as indicated in prescription directions. MARs reflect that medication was given at the scheduled time per order indications. Interview with 1 of 2 staff revealed that medication is given as prescribed and there is no way staff can over medicate because that would cause a shortage on dosage that was needed for R1 to be given dosage as indicated per day. Staff indicated this would reflect on MAR, but however dosages are signed off as given as indicated on prescription instructions. It is alleged that staff did not notify authorized representative of new medication. Records revealed copies of doctor’s orders for medication on file for R1, and a completed MAR sheet for all medication for resident. Interview with 2 of 2 staff revealed that they would inform POA of anything that involved R1’s care. POA was very involved with residents’ care therefore staff at facility kept POA informed of care. Staff indicated that once ordered are received by the physician the medication is given according to the physician's directions. Based on the information available through record review and interviews, LPA is unable to corroborate or refute that a violation occurred as alleged as the information collected is conflicting. Based on the information mentioned above, the Department is unable to ascertain if the allegation occurred as reported. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove or refute the alleged violation occurred; therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated.
