The Rulebook

The rules that apply to this facility.

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.

A complaint alleged that two residents were owed full refunds because they never physically moved in, but an investigation found the residents had signed admission agreements effective July 31, 2024, and were able to move in but chose not to—they later requested withdrawal in August and September 2024.

Read raw inspector notes

Reporting Party claims that all expenses are owed to residents (R1 & R2) because neither resident had not physically moved into the facility. Based upon interviews with staff (S1) and outside parties (I1,I2), LPA found that R1 & R2 had a signed effective agreement and were able to move into the facility as of 7/31/2024. However, it was found that R1 & R2 voluntarily refused to move their belongings into the facility from their personal home with said effective agreement and paid community and rent fees. Lastly, document review also indicated that R1 & R2 had submitted a withdrawal letter dated 8/30/2024 to the facility however was unsigned. A second letter was submitted to the facility dated 9/2/2024 declared an outside party (I1) as residents' (R1 & R2) authorized representative. A final letter from I1 dated 9/6/2024, requested a full refund of fees. Although LPA found that the facility received inconsistent documentation for withdrawal, a request was initially submitted by residents' (R1 & R2) within the first month of rent. Again it is indicated on the signed admissions agreement, that R1 & R2 had agreed to facility admission, effective 7/31/2024 and are not owed the alleged amount. In consideration to time frame of withdrawals, the facility was found to have provided the appropriate pro-rated community fees refund amount to residents (R1 & R2). The agency has investigated the allegation and we have found that the complaint was UNFOUNDED, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. No deficiencies cited during today's visit.

Based upon interviews with staff (S2) it was found that the facility had refunded the level of care fees to R1 but had not yet refunded the monthly fees.
