LPA spoke with Licensee who agrees to submit a Hospice waiver request immediately to the Department.

FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:
  • Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.
  • Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.

LPA observed a staff bedroom in the downstairs area of the facility which is missing a bedroom door. Additionally, LPA was informed that night staff also sleep on the facility couch when Licensee is away. LPA spoke with Licensee who agrees to install a bedroom door on the staff room and understands that no staff shall sleep in a common area of the facility per regulation. Cabinets containing cleaning supplies and other items that could pose a risk were observed unlocked. Licensee agrees to ensure these items are secured moving forward. Facility has at least two days of perishable food and one week of non-perishable foods, as well as an emergency water supply. Medications were centrally stored and locked. There is a shaded seating area in the backyard with outdoor space for activities. LPA observed residents resting or visiting with loved ones in their rooms or watching TV in the common area. Facility has internet service and the telephone was tested and operational during inspection.

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors were tested and operational during inspection. Facility's fire extinguishers were observed fully charged and were last inspected 09/2024. LPA observed PPE, emergency supplies, a first aid kit, flashlights and a backup generator for emergency preparedness.

DRP was unable to access resident and staff files due to Licensee being away from the facility with the keys to the filing cabinet which contains these records. LPA spoke with Licensee and explained that all facility documents and files shall be readily available at the facility and to licensing personnel upon request at all times in order to operate in compliance with regulation.

LPA will return at a later date to conduct file and medication records review and follow up on the issues observed and discussed with Licensee today to ensure facility has been brought into compliance with regulation. LPA may issue citations at that time.

No deficiencies cited during today's inspection.

Exit interview conducted with DRP whose signature on form confirms receipt.
