Plain-language summary
This was a complaint investigation into whether the facility improperly denied a refund to a resident who decided not to move in. The investigator found that the resident paid an $11,195 community fee, moved some belongings in briefly, then decided not to proceed without proper notice—and the facility charged $7,996 based on a prorated amount rather than issuing the full refund that the residency agreement promised for residents who decide not to move in before the pre-admission assessment. The facility's records did not show that any pre-admission assessment was actually completed, which would have entitled the resident to the full refund under the agreement's terms.
“as defined in Section 87457. Based on interviews and records review licensee failed to adhere to the admission agreement regarding the pre-admission fee for resident #1.”
