C & L Home for the Elderly
What is an RCFE with Memory Care?
A Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) is a non-medical residential care home licensed by California CDSS under Health & Safety Code §1560. Residents receive help with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. An RCFE with a Memory Care designation is additionally required by California Title 22 (§87705 and §87706) to provide specialized staff training in dementia care, individualized care plans for residents with cognitive impairment, and appropriate supervision protocols — requirements that go beyond a standard RCFE license.

Allegation: Staff does not safeguard the resident's cash resources- Unsubstantiated During the course of the investigation, it was alleged that staff failed to safeguard the residents’ cash resources. Interviews were conducted with the residents, staff, and Resident 1 (R1) social worker (SW). Facility records were reviewed, including the resident’s cash ledger, receipts, and policies regarding resident finances.The review showed that the residents’ funds were not being maintained by the facility. Interviews from resident 1 (R1), resident 2 (R2), resident 3 (R3), resident 4 (R4), resident 5 (R5), and resident 6 (R6) did not corroborate the allegation, and no evidence was found to indicate misuse, loss, or being handled by facility staff.
