Plain-language summary
A complaint alleged that the facility was not honoring its billing agreement regarding care fees after management changed from Sunrise Senior Living to Oakmont Management Company. The facility charged higher fees under the new management system but issued a credit of over $10,000 to the resident's account after the concern was raised. The department found insufficient evidence to prove a violation occurred.
Read raw inspector notesClose inspector notes
Although the charge for care fees are being billed at $3,640.75/month, with the credit of $296.75 being applied, the total monthly care fees are $3,344/month. Based on the accounting ledger for R1, in October 2025, R1 was charged $3,640.75/month, however, was credited back $10.038.78. According to documents reviewed and interviews conducted, R1’s care level was higher prior to 7/1/2023 – date of transition and the care point assessed after the transition was at 177, which at the time totaled $3,434, which continued to be charged at that rate until January 2025. The care rate increased from $21 to $22 and all residents were transferred over from the 2024 assessment tool to the 2025 assessment tool for the new rate to take effect. That’s when the 2025 rate for care reflected $3,640.75. Because R1’s account was considered “legacy” his/her care rate was grand fathered in at the locked-in rate for the first 152 points and therefore, would generate a credit difference between the 2024 care rate and 2025 care rate. According to staff interviewed and emails reviewed, R1’s responsible party agreed to this care assessment and care amount of $3,434 on date of transition, 7/1/2023, however, Oakmont Management did not understand why refunds were being requested from R1’s responsible party. On 10/17/25, Oakmont’s Regional Director of Operations emailed R1’s responsible party and indicated that an immediate goodwill credit of $10,038.78 will be returned to R1’s responsible party. Regarding the allegation, facility staff are not honoring the terms and conditions of the admission agreement, according to the reporting party, Resident 1’s (R1’s) the facility is not honoring the billing terms tied to the care point system in the admission agreement with Sunrise Senior Living had. According to staff interviews and documents reviewed, after Oakmont Management Company took over Sunrise Senior Living the billing is different. Sunrise Senior Living calculated care in a different way to Oakmont and the translation of care services from Sunrise's point system to Oakmont's is a computer algorithm based on services provided. There's not a specific dollar per point during the transition from Sunrise. At that time, R1's care services equated to 152 points and that point total doesn't change unless R1 switches to an Oakmont residency agreement. Based on documents reviewed, information collected, and interviews conducted, the department has determined that although the above allegation may have happened or are valid, there is no a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the above allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Report is reviewed with Administrator, Jennifer Duenas and a copy is provided.

Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation looked into allegations that residents eloped from the facility and that staff failed to provide feeding, dressing, and hygiene care. Inspectors could not find enough evidence to substantiate any of these claims—some original staff were no longer available, resident accounts differed from staff accounts, and observations of the facility showed hygiene supplies were in place. The investigation concluded there was insufficient evidence to prove the allegations occurred.

Page 2 - LIC9099C Regarding elopements from the facility, LPA cannot determine if this took place based on information received regarding these alleged incidents. There is not enough information and support to show that residents in fact eloped based on staff, video, and family interviews conducted. At the time of the alleged elopements those original staff that were in place, including memory care directors, are no longer present and cannot be contacted. No elopements were reported to management in order to report an incident to the Department. LPA cannot determine if incident reporting took place for the elopements in question. Regarding staff not feeding, dressing, or providing hygiene needs for residents. LPA conducted interviews and made facility observations. Interviews with staff show that the resident in question regarding not feeding or dressing a resident contradict with complainant information and interviews conducted. It was indicated by staff that the residents have the freedom of choice of getting dressed when getting ready in the morning. The resident in question refused to get ready in the morning and staff can not force a resident to change or do something they do not want to do as it will be against their personal rights. For the same resident LPA cannot determine if the was fed on time as the resident was refusing morning care that morning and staff were turned away by the resident and staff intended on returning to the resident to follow up with morning care and feeding. Regarding staff not providing hygiene needs, LPA toured resident rooms that are occupied and observed toilet paper in place. The resident in question is no longer at the facility at the time of investigation to observe if toilet paper was present. Staff interviewed indicate that if there was no toilet paper it would be provided if needed. Staff do replenish toilet paper everyday and when needed. Based on interviews, observations, and other items reviewed, LPA cannot determine if these allegations took place. These allegations are unsubstantiated. Based on these observations, the above allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. Although the allegations may have happened or is 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. Report is reviewed with the administrator Siobahn Surraco and a copy of the report is provided.
