Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Triel Lindstrom and Vincent Moleski arrived unannounced to conduct a complaint investigation. However, during that investigation, LPAs Lindstrom and Moleski observed an unrelated deficiency.

A resident of this facility (R1) left to walk their dog on or around the morning of Saturday, August 23, 2025, according to facility administrator Valarie Pais. R1 was discovered at the bottom of a steep hillside on the evening of Sunday, August 24, 2025, according to the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office, which led search and rescue efforts.

LPAs Lindstrom and Moleski reviewed R1’s service plan, dated November 22, 2024. The service plan indicates that R1 had a “history of wandering outside the community,” and that “health and safety may be jeopardized.”

LPAs Lindstrom and Moleski reviewed R1’s LIC 602, which was signed by a physician on January 6, 2025. The LIC 602 does not indicate that R1 had a history of wandering behaviors. However, the actual exam of R1 took place on September 24, 2024, according to the LIC 602, which is before the aforementioned service plan identified a significant change in R1’s behavioral expressions.

LPA Moleski asked Pais if R1’s physician was notified of the behaviors noted in the service plan. Pais said she was not aware of any such notification, and said that resident’s physicians should be notified if there is a significant change in condition. LPA Moleski spoke with the facility’s resident care director (S1), who had modified the service plan as of April 15, 2025. S1 said they were not aware of any such behavioral expressions. S1 said that R1’s physician should have been notified in the event that these behavioral expressions were identified. [continued on 809-C]

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.

LPAs Moleski and Lindstrom provided Pais an opportunity to acquire documentation showing that R1's physician was notified. Pais was unable to provide such documentation during this visit.

22 CCR Section 87755 states that "the licensing agency shall have the authority to inspect, audit, and copy resident or facility records upon demand during normal business hours."

22 CCR Section 87463(e) states that “the licensee shall immediately, or as soon as reasonably possible, bring any significant change in condition … to the attention of the appropriate licensed medical professional … documentation of such communication shall be added to the resident’s record…”

This facility is hereby cited per 22 CCR Section 87463(e). An exit interview was held with Pais. Appeal rights and a copy of this report were left with Pais.
