How many staff must be on duty overnight?22 CCR §87415

Based on 6 licensed beds:

One qualified staff member must be on call and physically on premises at all times overnight.

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.

  • 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

  • WrittenBankruptcy, foreclosure, eviction, or utility shutoff noticeWritten notice to CDSS and residents — $100/day penalty (max $2,000) for failure

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