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

Complaint also alleged that staff do not ensure the facility is kept free of mal odors. LPA toured the physical plant. This is a 3-story building but residents only reside on the 2nd and 3rd floors. LPA Calandra toured the entire building but did not observe any malodorous smells. Complaint also alleged that staff do not have the ability to communicate with residents. Based on interviews and observations, residents are able to communicate with residents and meet their needs. According to the Assistant Manager, Susan Roquel, if staff don't understand a resident, English speaking staff are always available to help translate. Based on interviews and observations, the above allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. Although the allegations 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 above allegations are unsubstantiated at this time. No deficiencies cited during today’s visit. An exit interview was conducted.

Plain-language summary

This was a complaint investigation into whether staff delayed seeking medical care for a resident. The facility was found to have violated regulations: a resident fell around 5 a.m. on March 6, 2024, but staff did not know about it until 4 hours later, and when the family arrived and found the resident in bed, 911 was called—meaning medical attention was not sought promptly after the fall was discovered. The facility received a $500 civil penalty for this failure to provide adequate supervision.

Type A22 CCR §87465(g)
Verbatim citation text · 22 CCR §87465(g)

Based on interviews, R1 fell at the facility at 0500 hours but facility staff did not call 911 until R1’s family arrived at the facility 5-6 hours later. This is an immediate health, safety, or personal rights risk to persons in care.

Plain-language summary

During an investigation of a complaint in October 2024, inspectors found that the facility had an ongoing bed bug problem since March 2024, but the extermination contract only covered rodents and insects generally—bed bugs were not specifically addressed in the services being provided. The administrator did not follow up to ensure the facility's pest control vendor was actually treating bed bugs, leaving residents in an unsafe environment. The facility was cited for failing to maintain safe conditions and manage operations according to state regulations.

Type A22 CCR §87205(a)
Verbatim citation text · 22 CCR §87205(a)

Based on information obtained, the facility having ongoing bed bug problems since March of 2024. The licensee did not exercise general supervision of the facility that resulted in ongoing issues of bed bugs wherein R1 was directly harmed and bitten by bed bugs. This resulted in R1 being transported to the hospital emergency room where a medical professional determined R1 had been bitten by bed bugs. This is an immediate health and safety hazard to residents in care.

Type A22 CCR §87405(h)(1)
Verbatim citation text · 22 CCR §87405(h)(1)

Based on LPAs review of records and interviews regarding the Administrator failing to take responsibility and administer facility operation in accordance with licensing regulations. It is noted that facility has exterminator monthly services, however upon review of this, the services do not address extermination of bed bugs for the entire facility. This resulted in at least one resident (R1) being harmed and bitten by bed bugs. This is an immediate health and safety hazard to residents in car. This poses an immediate health and safety risk to residents in care.

On October 18, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Komal Charitra conducted an unannounced case-management visit in relation to complaint #: 14-AS-20241015090138. LPA met with Administrator, Ricardo Aban and explained the purpose of the visit. During the complaint investigation conducted on 10/18/24, the facility has had bed bugs as an ongoing problem since March 7, 2024. LPA reviewed and obtained documentation related to exterminator services conducted by Western Exterminator Company. Based on review of this, it appears these services have been ongoing for ten (10) years with monthly provider services. However, upon further review of this, this extermination services contract with facility indicates, the services are specific for rodents and insects. Nowhere in these extermination services is listed as bed bugs being addressed. Based on this, it proves there was a lack of follow through on the part of the facility administrator for accountability, failing to ensure the best interest and welfare of their residents, and failing to establish policies regarding operation within licensing regulations. In addition, the administrator also failed to take responsibility and administer the facility operation in accordance with licensing regulations, resulting in an unsafe environment for residents. The deficiencies cited on the following page are in violation of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8. Failure to correct said deficiencies may result in additional civil penalties. This report was reviewed with facility representative, and a copy of this report must be made available for public review upon request. A copy of this report is provided to the facility. Appeal rights discussed and provided to facility representative during the visit.

Plain-language summary

This was a complaint investigation that found mixed results. A complaint about medication frequency was unsubstantiated because the facility and the resident gave conflicting accounts and there was not enough evidence to determine what actually happened. However, a separate allegation about bed bugs was substantiated—a resident developed bites that a hospital discharge note confirmed were caused by bed bugs, and the facility's pest control records showed only specific rooms were treated rather than comprehensive treatment after bed bugs were discovered in March 2024.

Type A22 CCR §87303(a)
Verbatim citation text · 22 CCR §87303(a)

Based on obtained relevant records including: incident reports indicating bed bug issues (dated from March 2024 – current); medical documentation of R1 discharge notes that indicate R1 had bites due to bed bugs, and facility invoices for exterminator services. This resulted in a resident (R1) going to the hospital ER on 10/12/2024 with doctors determining the bites were caused by bed bugs. This is an immediate health and safety hazard to residents in care.

Type A22 CCR §87468.1(a)(2)
Verbatim citation text · 22 CCR §87468.1(a)(2)

Based on interviews conducted and records obtained: R1 was transported to the hospital ER on 10/12/2024 where doctors determined he had been bitten by bed bugs at the facility. This is an immediate health and safety hazard to residents in care.
