The rules that apply to this facility
California Title 22 requirements for this facility, with the specific regulation and a suggested question for each.
What dementia-care training must staff complete?22 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.
How many staff must be on duty overnight?22 CCR §87415
Based on 111 licensed beds:
One awake caregiver on duty, one on-call caregiver physically on premises, and one additional on-call caregiver.
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

- 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.
What must this facility report to the state — and how fast?22 CCR §87211 / WIC §15630

- 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 does CDSS enforce these rules?22 CCR §87755–87777 / HSC §1569.58
- 1Notice of DeficiencyWritten citation with a correction deadline. Facility must submit a Plan of Correction.

Inspector: Dominic Tobola
Unsubstantiated — the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) investigated and did not find a violation.
Inspector notes
Upon inspection of bedrooms 300 and 304, LPA found that the facility is still undergoing repairs. However, LPA observed residents' rooms to be equipped with personal space heaters and additional blankets. LPA was able to interview resident (R1) located in room 300. R1 did not have any concerns or report being cold and stated that they felt fine. R1 was observed on their bed and showed LPA the additional blankets they were using. R1's space heater was off during the inspection but was tested and in working order. In addition both rooms (300 and 304) did not appear to be cold or at a discomforting temperature. LPA contacted San Francisco Ombudsman Officer, (O1) who also confirmed that they had conducted a facility inspection in response to the allegations. O1 indicated that the facility had provided additional blankets and space heaters for resident bedroom still in need of services. O1 also stated that during their visit, they were not able to conduct/determine a temperature reading due to no thermostat. Lastly, O1 reported the facility to have responded appropriately and in a timely manner. Complaint alleges facility is in disrepair after facility heating system had become damaged. Based upon interviews with staff (S1,S2) it was determined that the facility heating system had become damaged due to the boiler flooding and effecting the heaters. The facility became aware on 11/17/2024 and began repair requests immediately. Interview with Maintenance Director (S2) indicated that service repairs were submitted the following day. LPA was provided the invoice for the first repair service to the boiler. In addition, residents who's bedrooms were affected and had no working heater, were provided additional blankets and portable space heaters to accommodate while the facility repairs were in place. LPA was informed by Maintenance Director (S2) that the bedrooms 300, 301, 302 and 304 had been affected by the heating system damages. Upon inspection of bedrooms, LPA found that the heaters in rooms 301 and 302 had been restored to working condition with heaters observed to be on and the bedrooms warm and comfortable. Upon inspection of bedrooms 300 and 304, LPA found that the facility is still undergoing repairs with the remaining two bedroom heaters, but had provided appropriate accommodations. Although the facility had undergone damages to the heating system, LPA found that the facility had responded appropriately and timely in order to have the system restored. Due to contradicting information gathered during the course of the investigation the allegation is found to be unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint allegations, staff did not maintain a comfortable temperature for residents in care and facility is in disrepair are unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation 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 allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. No deficiencies cited.

Inspector notes
According to the Memory Care Director, there are 2 caregivers and 1 Medication Technician (Med Tech) on the unit for the AM and PM shifts and 2 caregivers and 1 Med Tech on the night shift. The Memory Care Director stated that there should always be a staff in the dining room to supervise the residents and if the residents needed to be change, and/or wanted to go back to their rooms, the caregivers would provide the assistance while the Med Tech stayed in the dining room. LPAs interviewed the facility staff members who stated there is always someone providing supervision in the dining room. They also stated that they would bring the residents to the bathroom and/or back to their rooms after the meals but if the residents needed to go to the bathroom or to be changed prior to their meals, they would assist the residents. Furthermore, they stated that some residents would walk back and forth from the dining room to the hallway and back and sometimes they would redirect them to stay in the dining room for their meals. LPA interviewed R1 who slipped out of the wheelchair while getting some fresh air and R1 stated that it was an accident and several staff members helped and responded to the incident right away. R1 also stated that staff members were responsive but sometimes the response time took a longer because they were busy. LPAs interviewed R2 who stated that due to his/her vision problem, it would be a big challenge in the morning if he/she was assigned to a caregiver who did not know the routines such as an agency staff. During the interview with R2, LPAs attempted to obtain additional details regarding to being isolated in the room as the reporting party reported, however, R2 did not want to provide any information. LPAs interviewed the Resident Service Director who was aware of R2's health condition and stated that most of the time, R2 is being assigned to a regular caregiver. However, when there were sick calls, they had to readjust their schedule and get someone from the agency and resulted R2 not being assigned to a regular staff. Based on documents provided, LPA observed R2 required additional assistance and the Resident Service Director is meeting with R2 on a regular basis to ensure R2's needs are being met. LPA interviewed other residents and they stated that they liked the facility, and staff members were caring and assisting them with their needs. After the investigation, this allegation is deemed to be unsubstantiated. Although the above investigations 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 is UNSUBSTANTIATED. This report is reviewed and discussed with the Director.
