What is an RCFE with 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.

Based on Opal Care Llc's state inspection record.
State records show three Type A deficiencies, meaning actual harm to residents was documented — what were the circumstances of each citation, and what corrective actions were implemented?

The facility has been cited under §87705 or §87706 for dementia care requirements — what was the specific nature of that citation, and how has the facility addressed compliance since then?
With 15 licensed beds and memory care residents requiring close supervision, what is the staff-to-resident ratio during overnight shifts, and how is coverage maintained when staff call out?
Given the three Type B citations indicating potential for harm, what systems have been put in place to prevent those deficiencies from recurring?
