The Rulebook

The rules that apply to this facility.

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.

What dementia-care training must staff complete?22 CCR §87705 / HSC §1569.625
+
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.

Ask on tour

Can you show me each direct-care staffer's most recent dementia training certificate, and tell me when their next refresher is due?

Inspector · Grace Donato

Plain-language summary

On December 17, 2024, a complaint alleged that one resident pushed another resident, causing a fall and injury. Staff found the injured resident on the ground and called emergency services; the injured resident told staff they had been pushed, but inspectors found no video evidence, no history of aggressive behavior from the other resident, and no corroborating witnesses to confirm what happened, so the allegation could not be proven or disproven.

Read raw inspector notes

Staff that were interviewed were present in the memory care on 12/17/2024 during the AM shift. While providing assistance to another resident, S1 saw R1 on the ground in the adjoining living room. S1 got additional assistance from S2 who was also assisting with the other resident. S2 asked resident R1 what happened. According to S2, R1 said, “R2 pushed me,” and pointed to R2. Both staff were the only direct care staff in the area at the time and acknowledged R2 was by R1 in the living room. There is no video surveillance inside the facility. R1 was assessed by facility staff. Emergency services were called and transported R1 to the hospital for evaluation. For the records that were reviewed, both R1 and R2 have neuro cognitive disorders. R1 was noted as independent with mobility and transferring. R2 is noted as not having any inappropriate or aggressive behavior. While R1 sustained an injury while in care, there is no evidence that either R2 had inappropriate or aggressive behavior, and that additional supervision was needed to prevent a resident-on-resident altercation. There is no corroborating evidence that a lack of supervision resulted in R1 being pushed by R2 resulting in injury. Based on interviews, observations and records review, the department has determined that 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. Report is reviewed and copy is provided. page 2 of 2
