RCFE · Memory Care
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 help with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. An RCFE with a Memory Care designation is additionally required by California Title 22 (§87705 and §87706) to provide specialized staff training in dementia care, individualized care plans for residents with cognitive impairment, and appropriate supervision protocols — requirements that go beyond a standard RCFE license.

What dementia-care training must staff complete?Cited Jul 202322 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.

How many staff must be on duty overnight?22 CCR §87415
Based on 89 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.

Inspector: Grace Donato
Unsubstantiated — the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) investigated and did not find a violation.
Plain-language summary
An investigator looked into three complaints about this memory care facility: an incident where one resident pushed another resident in the courtyard, concerns that a resident was not being fed adequately and was losing weight, and a claim that staff did not inform the family about a fungal infection on the resident's toes. The investigator found no clear evidence to support any of these complaints—the resident's weight records showed he actually gained weight between July and August 2024, he was observed to be eating and asking for food when hungry, and staff had no record of observing a fungal infection, though they noted his toenails were long (a podiatrist visits the facility to trim nails).

They couldn’t prove it. There wasn’t any action plan the facility covered with RP. They said they didn’t really think it happened and supposedly they were keeping eye on them, don’t know if R1 was following R2 around. After the incident on 08/09, they met with them that Saturday morning and Maria (former memory care director) said it was really odd that it happened. LPA Kabariti (Christine Dolores) interviewed staff members. According to ED, there was an incident that occurred between R1 and R2. Both residents are in memory care. There was a caregiver (S3), who saw them walking in the memory care's courtyard. There are windows to the courtyard and the caregiver clearly saw both residents. Both residents are ambulatory and independent. When R1 and R2 met at a crossing path, they don't know exactly what happened between them and what was said, but according to S3, R1 pushed R2 and R2 fell into the bush and ended up sideways from the walking path. LPA Donato was able to interview S3. S3 shared that he/she saw R1 push R2 so he/she ran to keep them away from each other. Based on records review, in one of the entries in the progress notes, the former memory care director had a meeting with family members on 8/10/2024 to go over the service plan regarding the incident that happened. Regarding the allegation of Staff did not ensure resident was adequately fed resulting in weight loss, RP stated that in the process of moving R1, RP learned he's lost 8 lbs. The reason R1 is in the facility is because R1 wasn't eating well at home and was only drinking calories so if anything, R1 should have gained weight with regular meals. According to interviews, ED said that there were no concerns regarding R1s weight. R1 did a lot of walking and had a personal trainer that come here every week. Personal trainer was to keep him active. R1 was able to articulate and verbalize what he/she wanted. ED didn't notice he was losing weight. ED added that R1 verbalizes what he/she wants. If R1 needs more food, he/she asks for it. page 2 of 3 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 Based on records review, R1 had a logged weight record done by the facility every month. The records show that while the weight of the resident differs every month it is between 2.8lbs-6lbs. For July 1, 2024, the weight on record is 177.6 and when R1 got weighed again on August, 12, 2024, the records show 182lbs. For the allegation that Staff did not inform resident's responsible party about resident's change of condition, RP shared that they have learned that R1 has a horrible nail fungus on the toes. Facility should have helped R1 shower so someone should have alerted us (RP) to the toe fungus problem. During the interview, ED shared that they were not aware of any infections, fungus on R1s body and toe fungus. Don't remember anything of that effect. ED was not aware of any change of condition. If there was any change of condition it should be in the progress notes. ED also shared that R1 always has socks on. S2 mentioned that R1 was independent and performed his/her own Activities of Daily Living (ADL). S4 shared that he/she only observed R1s toenails to be long. If the fungus is under, then they won’t be able to see it. There is a podiatrist that comes in the facility to cut the residents nails. S4 also shared that R1 is good at dressing himself/herself. According to the records reviewed, R1 is an ambulatory resident who can do his/her own bathing, dressing feeding and toileting needs. R1 is also capable of communicating his/her needs and can follow instructions. In R1s care plan, R1 needs verbal cue or reminders to shower, dress and groom. Care staff is to assist with setting out clean clothes and redirect verbally if needs change in clothing and show if needed. There is also verbal cueing to assist what comes next in grooming. Based on interviews and records review, the department has determined that although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. Report is reviewed and copy is provided. page 3 of 3

Inspector: Christine Kabariti
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation found that staff did not properly record a resident's as-needed cough medication given at 6:00 a.m. on February 7, 2025—the medication was documented in a staff note but not in the resident's official medication log, and staff then waited until 10:00 a.m. to give the next dose without recording the earlier dose's dosage or effectiveness. Two other allegations—that staff failed to prevent or report a spinal fracture the resident sustained in January 2025, and that staff did not adequately supervise the resident in the common area on February 26, 2025—were investigated but found unsubstantiated, meaning there was not enough evidence to prove the violations occurred.
View full inspector notes
It was alleged that staff mishandled a resident (R1)’s medication the morning of 02/07/2025. It was stated that on 02/07/2025 around 7:00am, R1’s private caregiver requested a PRN medication for R1 due to increased coughing, but the medication was not administered until around 10:00am. Based on staff interview, it was stated that the NOC shift MedTech administered the PRN cough medicine around 6:00am, which was why the staff waited until 10:00am to give the next dose. Staff stated that they needed to wait until 4 hours had passed (per the physician’s order) before administering the next dose of the PRN cough medication. Based on record review of R1’s PRN log, on 02/07/2025 the 6:00am dose of PRN cough medicine was not recorded in R1’s PRN log. It was only recorded that R1 was administered the cough medicine at 10:12am the morning of 02/07/2025. The prior dose recorded was from 02/06/2025 at 8:27pm. The facility provided a written communication note on 02/07/2025 between MedTechs, which noted that R1 was administered a PRN medicine for cough at 6:00am, however, this note did not include the dosage and effectiveness of the medication. The Department has investigated the above allegation. Based on interview, record review and observation the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore, the above allegation is substantiated. A deficiency was cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22. See LIC9099-D. This report was reviewed with Executive Director, Eugenia Smith and Generations Program Director Erin Wiley and a copy of the report and appeal rights was provided. Page 2 of 2. 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 It was alleged that on 01/25/2025, resident (R1) sustained an unexplained spinal fracture injury while in care. During R1’s hospital visit, R1 was diagnosed with a viral infection and spine fracture. It was unclear whether the spinal fracture was caused by an unwitnessed fall that was not reported by the facility or due to symptoms of the viral infection. 6 staff members were interviewed. Based on staff interview, 6 out of 6 staff stated that R1 was a fall risk. 5 out of 6 staff did not observe R1 sustain a fall and was not informed of a fall that R1 had sustained during their shift and prior to their shift. 1 out of 6 staff stated they believe R1 had a fall, which is how R1 sustained a spine fracture, however, this staff could not provide more details to include when and where the fall occurred. This staff stated that if there was a fall, it should have been documented in R1’s chart. Based on record review, there was no indication in R1's notes that R1 had sustained a fall prior to R1’s hospital visit on 01/23/2025. It was only noted that R1 wasn’t feeling well and complained of chest pain and coughing, in where R1 was taken to the emergency room. The review of R1’s medical records did not indicate how R1 sustained the spinal fracture. R1 is diagnosed with a health condition related to weak bones. A witness was interviewed, who was unsure how R1 sustained the spinal fracture. It was alleged that staff did not provide adequate care and supervision due to an incident that occurred on 02/26/2025. On 02/26/2025, a witness (W1) observed R1 bent over, pulling a heavy chair in the common area and there was no staff member in sight. It was stated that the facility was instructed by R1’s family member to ensure R1 is in sight of the caregivers 24/7. Based on record review, the facility was not providing 1:1 care for R1 during the day time. R1’s service plan indicated status checks for 4-6x a day. Page 2 of 3. 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 It was noted that staff are to make frequent checks for resident’s safety and to assist the resident during transitions from activities, meals, and back to the apartment. The service plan did not indicate a time frame of how often staff should be checking on the resident. A witness (W1) was interviewed. Based on interview, around 5:30pm W1 did not observe staff supervising the residents in the common area when R1 was bent over with a back brace pulling a heavy chair. W1 denied calling a staff for assistance or looking for a staff after the observation of the incident. W1 states there are usually around 2-3 staff working in memory care. 5 staff members were interviewed regarding this allegation. Based on staff interview, the caregivers check in on R1 very frequently if R1 is in his/her bedroom alone. It’s stated that R1 is normally in the common area during the day to allow for staff to observe R1 closely. Staff stated the facility has at least 3-4 caregivers, 1 medtech, and 1 activities staff working the morning shift; 3-4 caregivers and 1 medtech for the afternoon/evening shift; and 3 caregivers and 1 medtech during the NOC shift. Based on review of the facility’s staffing schedule in memory care, the facility has at least 3 – 4 caregivers and 1 MedTech scheduled in the morning and afternoon shift, and at least 2 caregivers and 1 MedTech during the NOC shift. The Department has investigated the above allegations. Based on interview, record review and observation the above allegations are unsubstantiated. An unsubstantiated finding indicated that although the allegation may have happened and/or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. No deficiencies were cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22.

View full inspector notes
Based on staff interview, it was stated that it was staff’s responsibility to keep an eye on R1’s oxygen concentrator to make sure it is working properly. Staff stated that R1’s family has complained that the light of the oxygen concentrator was turning yellow and now the staff are trained to contact the hospice agency if the oxygen concentrator light turns yellow. Staff denied the observation of the oxygen concentrator not working properly. On 12/1/2022, LPA observed the light on R1’s oxygen concentrator was green. Based on record review, the facility was monitoring R1’s oxygen concentrator, however, there were no notes on 10/25/2022 regarding R1’s oxygen concentrator not working properly. It was alleged that facility staff did not ensure that resident’s room is free of odors as R1’s room smells like urine usually around 10:00am – 11:00am. It was stated that staff are masking the smell with Febreeze and since 11/24/2022, it hasn’t happened again for the past 3 weeks. Based on staff interview, it was stated that staff try their best to air the resident’s room out if a resident soils their diapers, clothing and/or linens. Another staff stated that when a resident for example has a BM, they leave the smell because they are not allowed to have sprays. It was stated that if the resident is not in the room, they can open the window to air out, however, if the resident is in the room they don’t open the window because it can be too cold. On 12/1/2022 around 10:45AM, LPA entered into 10 random apartments in memory care. LPA observed 1 out of 10 apartments had an odor of urine. Based on staff interview, staff was still working on getting the resident’s soiled laundry that was placed inside the resident’s hamper. LPA observed 9 out of 10 apartments did not have an odor of urine in the room.
