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.

The rules that apply to this facility

California Title 22 requirements for this facility, with the specific regulation and a suggested question for each.Rules this facility has been cited for are shown first.

What dementia-care training must staff complete?Cited Jun 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.

Ask on tour: Ask how dementia training records are kept — families may request documentation.

What must this facility report to the state — and how fast?Cited May 202422 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 many staff must be on duty overnight?22 CCR §87415

Based on 6 licensed beds:

One qualified staff member must be on call and physically on premises at all times overnight.

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.

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.

No deficiencies

Inspector: Lori Alexander-Washington

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

Plain-language summary

A complaint alleged that staff refused to adjust the temperature in a resident's room during hot weather and removed his personal air conditioning unit without explanation. The investigation found conflicting accounts: the resident reported that a staff member refused his request to turn on the air conditioning, while staff stated they were willing to help but the resident had asked for cold air constantly; the resident said his personal AC unit was removed after a hospital stay without notice, but staff did not provide clear information about when or why this occurred. The inspector determined there was insufficient evidence to confirm whether violations took place.

View full inspector notes

LIC9099-C Continued... LPA interviewed S1 that stated R1 wants the air to be cold and circulating all the time. S2 stated that R1 had a "private AC" but they took it out because it was expensive. S2 stated that R1's blinds are closed. S1 stated that on 07/09/2024 him and S2 were away from the facility but caregiver S3 was at the facility. S1 stated that he received a call from R1 regarding the temperature and that he spoke with S3. S1 stated that S3 said "...I don't know how to adjust the temperature..." S1 stated that he also spoke with his daughter, S4, who went and adjusted the temperature control. S1 stated when he returned back to the facility later that day, the temperature was good. LPA interviewed R1 that stated on 07/09/2024 his room was hot during the excessive heat conditions during the last couple of weeks. R1 stated that S1 was gone from the facility with guests and that he called S1 3 times that day and no answer. R1 stated that they requested to S3 if they could turn the air temperature on but S3 refused. R1 stated "I need a lot of air." R1 stated that they had their own "Energy Efficient" personal AC that included a fan and humidifier which was installed by W2 in their bedroom. R1 stated after he was discharged and returned back from his last hospitalization, 05/21/24 thru 05/28/24, his personal AC was gone without any notice or explanation to why it was removed. R1 stated that his room is hotter than all the other rooms in the house, the location where his room is facing and that there is no cross ventilation in his bedroom. Although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation are UNSUBSTANTIATED .
