Pleasant Hill Oasis
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 Apr 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 Oct 202422 CCR §87211 / WIC §15630

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 49 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.
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

- 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

ComplaintMarch 12, 2025· UnsubstantiatedNo 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 investigation found no evidence that staff failed to treat a resident with dignity, failed to return laundry promptly, or spoke to the resident inappropriately. While a witness said laundry wasn't returned and staff acknowledged using a firm voice, the facility's explanation that laundry is processed during night shifts and delivered the next morning by female caregivers was accepted, and there was insufficient evidence to prove any violation occurred.

LIC9099-C Continued... Allegation: Questionable Death Investigation Finding: Unsubstantiated During investigation, the Department conducted interviews of facility staff & responsible parties and reviewed resident (R1) documents. Review of R1’s medical documents showed that on 01/07/2022, R1’s primary diagnosis was unspecified depressive disorder. On 01/27/2022 R1 had an ER visit at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center for nicotine patch and redness in right ear. On 04/27/2022 Staff (S1) received a radio call approximately 1145-1300 that there was an emergency in R1’s room. S1 stated that they found R1 unresponsive while S2 was performing the Heimlich Maneuver. S1 stated that they began giving Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and dialed 911. S1 stated that Paramedics arrived and continued emergency resuscitation. S1 stated that R1 was admitted at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, CA. Per review of subject resident’s Needs & Services and interview resident was independent in eating and not a choking risk. Review of documents reports that R1 passed away on 05/04/2022 at 1312. Documents obtained do not suggest R1’s death was a result of neglect or lack of care for suspicious circumstances from facility staff. Based on records review, interviews conducted, and observations made, the department has investigated the above allegation of questionable death and found it to be unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
