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
Cited Apr 2026+
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?

Review of staff records indicated that 8 of 8 facility staff members had first aid training certificates on file. This allegation is Unsubstantiated . The Department investigated the following allegation, “staff do not ensure that facility is in good repair.” Complaint alleged that facility’s camera system was not working. Complaint alleged that facility staff were aware that the system was down on the morning of 08/23/2025 but did not communicate it to residents or their responsible parties. Facility partners with a third-party vendor, Safely You, that has cameras throughout the building to notify the facility staff of a potential fall. Interview conducted with Executive Director stated that Safely You Technicians were on-site for 3 to 4 days to resolve the camera issue. Facility documents also indicated that on 08/29/2025, the Safely You cameras were online and active. The camera system is maintained and managed by Safely You. Therefore, it is the third-party vendor’s responsibility to ensure that their system is functioning appropriately and not the facility’s. This allegation is Unsubstantiated . A finding that a complaint allegation is Unsubstantiated means that 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.

Continued from LIC9099 "Staff handled resident roughly causing resident to fall" - Community Care Licensing received an Incident Report and SOC341 Report on 02/25/2025. Reports stated that 02/21/2025, facility received a notice from their fall-detection camera system. Reports stated that in the video footage, Staff Member 1 (S1) was seen grabbing R1, was trying to clean them after they used the bathroom, and that R1 was resistant to receiving the care. Reports further stated that R1 was seen falling backward hitting their head against their bedroom furniture, that S1 did not report the fall to Facility Medication Technicians or the Health and Wellness Director (HWD) on duty, and that Staff Member 2 and Staff Member 3 (S2 and S3) conducted a visual assessment of R1. LPA reviewed the facility video footage from 02/21/2025. LPA observed that R1 was shown to fall backward with force and significantly hit their head on their nightstand while S1 was providing care. "Facility did not seek timely medical" - Review of R1’s physician orders indicated that R1 was on a blood thinner medication/anticoagulant. Interviews conducted with S2 and S3 confirmed that they reviewed the video footage on 02/21/2025 and conducted a visual assessment of R1. Interviews revealed that S2 and S3 did not send R1 to the hospital for evaluation per facility protocol because they were instructed by the HWD to not send R1 to the hospital unless they exhibited a change in condition. Per interview with Executive Director, facility protocol is to call emergency services when a resident hits their head. Review of facility’s fall policy stated the following: “…Associates will call Emergency Medical Services (911) when: (a) the resident has…received obvious head or significant trauma, (b) if the resident is on anticoagulants and there is a question of head trauma.” "Facility did not report abuse to responsible party" - Review of SOC-341 report showed that R1's incident occurred on 02/21/2025 and that the report was received by Community Care Licensing (CCL) on 02/25/2025. Welfare and Institutions Code section 15630(b)(1) states the following: "Any mandated reporter who, in his or her professional capacity, or within the scope of his or her employment, has observed or has knowledge of an incident that reasonably appears to be physical abuse...shall report the known or suspected instance of abuse...within two working days." Interviews conducted with S2 and S3 confirmed that they viewed the video of R1 and S1 on 02/21/2025 and did not report the suspected abuse incident timely per mandated reporting requirements.

Report received stated that Facility’s Executive Director confronted R1’s family about the alleged altercation in front of R1 and did not provide R1 dignity.

Interview conducted with Executive Director stated that they were unable to determine if the altercation happened as S1 and the family were the only ones involved. Interview conducted with Witness 1 (W1) denied that the physical altercation occurred, and that the accusation was false. W1 stated that there was a verbal conversation that occurred between themselves, the Facility Executive Director, and S1, but asserted that there had been no physical contact between them and S1 prior to the verbal exchange. Interview conducted with Witness 2 and Witness 3 (W2 and W3), corroborated W1’s statements that there was no physical altercation between W1 and S1 and that there was no yelling or raised voices during the conversation between the family, the Facility’s Executive Director, and facility staff in front of R1.
