About this facility
Ivy Park at Oakland Hills is a state-licensed residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE) at 11889 Skyline Boulevard in Oakland, licensed for 100 residents and flagged in state records as offering memory care services. The facility is operated by Transformer Opco LLC in partnership with Oakmont Management Group LLC. As an RCFE with a memory care designation, Ivy Park serves adults living with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and related cognitive conditions under California's Title 22 regulatory framework, which sets specific standards for facilities caring for residents with dementia diagnoses.
Memory care approach
As a California-licensed RCFE providing memory care, Ivy Park at Oakland Hills operates under Title 22 regulations that require specialized training for staff serving residents with dementia, individualized care plans addressing cognitive decline, and environmental safeguards appropriate for this population. The facility's CDSS inspection history shows 11 reports on file with only one deficiency cited—and notably, zero citations under the dementia-specific care standards (§87705 or §87706). No Type A citations (actual harm) appear in the record. While this inspection history suggests regulatory compliance, families should ask the facility directly about their specific dementia care practices, staff training protocols, and how they structure daily programming for memory care residents.

ComplaintFebruary 20, 2026· UnsubstantiatedNo deficiencies
Inspector: Ardalan Gharachorloo
Unsubstantiated — CDSS investigated and did not find violations.
This was a complaint investigation into two allegations: that the facility restricted resident visits without proper authorization, and that staff spoke to residents in a threatening or inappropriate manner. The state found no evidence to support either allegation—the facility appeared to follow parole officer guidance while still arranging visits in alternative locations, and resident and staff interviews indicated respectful communication. Both complaints were determined to be unsubstantiated.

Unsubstantiated — CDSS investigated and did not find violations.
This was an investigation into complaints about wound care and medical attention for a resident in hospice, as well as a broken television. The facility's records showed that hospice nurses were visiting daily to manage the resident's wounds and medical care per physician orders, and staff coordinated closely with the hospice team and family—no violation was found. The complaint about the television could not be substantiated; the facility's admission agreement states it is not responsible for resident-owned electronics, though staff sometimes help with repairs as a courtesy.

***CONTINUE FROM 9099*** W1 stated, “R1 had wounds that weren’t healing, and I don’t think staff were changing her dressings the way they should.” W1 reported that R1’s family had expressed concern that her pressure injuries appeared worse over time. During interviews, staff (S1–S4) consistently reported that R1 was admitted to the facility under hospice care with existing pressure injuries. S1 stated, “When she moved in, she already had open wounds, and hospice was coming in daily to do the wound care.” S2 also stated, “We assisted hospice nurses when they came; we didn’t do the wound care ourselves unless instructed.” Review of hospice documentation and care notes showed consistent visits by hospice nursing staff with records of wound care performed per physician orders.

Allegation: Staff did not seek medical attention for the resident - Unsubstantiated W1 stated, “When R1 wasn’t eating for a few days, her family wanted her taken to the hospital, but the staff told them no.” According to W1, family members were concerned about R1’s condition and weight loss. Interviews with staff indicated that hospice was overseeing R1’s care plan and directing all medical decisions at the time. S1 stated, “we coordinated closely with hospice daily and updated the responsible party.” S3 added, “The nurse visited regularly and adjusted her plan; the family was aware hospice was managing her care.” LPA reviewed hospice communication notes and progress reports showing regular hospice visits, physician coordination, and documentation of family communication regarding R1’s condition.

During interviews, staff did not confirm that the TV in R1's room was not working. S1 further stated that "the admission agreement specifies the facility does not provide TVs and that R1 brought her own TV. However, if a resident's personal electronics, such as a TV, do not work, staff sometimes assist with repairs as a courtesy". LPA reviewed the admission agreement, which revealed that the facility is not responsible for resident owned electronics or similar amenities. LPA also toured R2 and R3's rooms and facility's common entertainment area. R2 also stated " if I need something, or my TV remote runs out of battery, I have seen staff come and help.

Unsubstantiated — CDSS investigated and did not find violations.
A complaint alleged that staff restrained a resident by the wrists, causing injuries, and failed to notify her family or seek medical attention; however, the investigation found no evidence to support these claims—staff documented only verbal redirection during an incident, made documented attempts to call the family, and assessed the resident after a fall with stable vital signs and negative X-rays. The facility's records, staff interviews, and medical documentation did not substantiate the allegations of physical restraint, failure to notify, or failure to seek appropriate medical evaluation.

W1 stated that R1 hit her head on a wall due to being placed in a restraint. During interviews with the LPA, S1 stated that staff intervened to prevent R1 from falling or injuring herself but did not restrain her. S3 added that R1 was agitated and staff stood close to redirect her and block contact, but no forceful restraint was used. S4 stated, “I saw staff guide her away from the table; no one held her down.” S5 stated by phone, “I touched her elbow to guide her; she pulled away quickly and may have bumped herself.” LPA reviewed the incident report, charting notes, and daily care logs for 04/30/2025. The documentation reflected that R1 became upset, attempted to strike another resident, and was verbally redirected. There was no documentation of physical restraint.

W1 stated that she would have wanted immediate notification of any injury. In the interview with LPA, S2 stated that after the 04/30/2025 incident, she called W1 several times but received no answer and left a message for the next shift to continue follow-up. S4 stated that he heard S2 say on the phone, “No answer — I’ll try again after rounds.” S1 stated that follow-up calls were part of the facility’s procedure and that a care conference was scheduled after the incidents to discuss R1’s care needs. LPA reviewed the facility communication logs, incident reports, and staff notes and updates for shift changes. The logs documented call attempts to W1’s listed number on both dates, with “no answer” recorded.

***CONTINUE FROM 9099*** W1 also mentioned that staff had confirmed R1 missed breakfast. This concern was originally sent via email to facility staff, and W1 expressed frustration over lack of timely communication regarding care issues. However, later the same day, W1 sent a follow up email stating that after receiving clarification from staff, she realized she had misread the caregiver’s text and acknowledged that S2 in fact provided care. W1 sent an email to S1 on 06/17/2025 stating “ I will withdraw my complaint to the DSS regarding today” and stated " she had no reason to doubt the staff member involved". This agency has investigated the complaint alleging Facility staff did not ensure resident was brought down for meal service. We have found that the complaint was unsubstantiated. 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 .
