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

Can you show me each direct-care staffer's most recent dementia training certificate, and tell me when their next refresher is due?

Tour Prep

Questions to ask before you visit.

A short pre-tour checklist tailored to Atria San Juan's record and state requirements.

01 /

Atria San Juan holds 140 licensed beds and has zero deficiencies, zero serious citations, and zero complaints on file with CDSS — can you walk families through how the facility maintains compliance, and provide copies of the most recent internal audit or quality-assurance review?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

02 /

The facility is licensed and currently operating with no inspection reports on record in the state transparency database — when was the last CDSS licensing visit, and can you provide families with a copy of that inspection report?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

03 /

The operator is Wg Chateau San Juan Sh Lp, managed by Atria Management Co Llc, and the facility does not hold a formal memory-care designation in CDSS records — does the facility accept residents with dementia diagnoses, and if so, what specific Title 22 requirements does it follow?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

out of 4 staff interviewed reported they call 911 if required and 911 is not called for lift assistance. LPA contacted the Orange County Fire Authority but the First responders who responded to the calls were not available for interview. The Administrator reported that in memory care 911 is called in case of head injury that the resident may not be able to report.
