Allegation investigated: Facility does not have a current administrator
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Joseph Alejandre made an unannounced visit to conduct the required 10-day visit to begin the investigation into the allegation listed above. LPA met with Administrator Lorna Smith and explained the reason for the visit. The Administrator reported they have a current Administrator's certificate but they have not received it from the Agency (CCL). LPA verified on the Agency website that the Administrator has a current certificate, number 7023081740 that expires on August 16, 2026. The Administrator reported that she sent in all the required documents to renew her certificate prior to the last certificate expiring. Based on the evidence gathered the allegation is deemed unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided and explained. Unfoundedthe state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Mar 10, 2025 · control 22-AS-20250228145518

Allegation investigated: Staff applied a colostomy bag without a doctor's order Facility heater is inoperative
Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) Jerome Haley made an unannounced visit regarding the complaint allegations above. LPA Haley was greeted by staff and explained the reason for the visit upon entry. Before interviews began, LPA toured the interior and exterior portion of the facility with Staff 1 (S1). Regarding the complaint allegation: Staff applied a colostomy bag without a doctor's order During the complaint investigation 3 of 4 individuals interviewed provided information that confirms the complaint allegation, including Staff 1(S1) who admitted to placing a bag on the residents rectum/bottom area. S1 admitted to placing the colostomy bag on the resident 1’s rectum/bottom area. According to S1, R1 was dealing with a lot of “loose stool” so S1 used the colostomy bag to catch the loose stool to prevent further damage to R1’s already compromised skin area on the rectum/bottom area.

Allegation investigated: Staff caused injury to resident Facility failed to maintain comfortable temperature for the residents
Regarding the complaint allegation: Staff caused injury to resident During the complaint investigation, 3 of 4 individuals confirmed R1 was dealing with skin irritation on the rectum/bottom area. One witnessed described the skin irritation to be like a diaper rash. The witness claims the facility was provided cream to apply to the affected area. Staff 1 (S1) also confirmed R1 was dealing with irritation to the rectum area from the time R1 was admitted on January 8, 2025. S1 confirmed cream was being applied to the irritated area and it was improving until R1 began having loose stools, which irritated the already sensitive skin around R1’s rectum/bottom area. It is not clear what damage if any was caused by the bag that was placed on the rectum/bottom area as 3 of the individuals interviewed all confirmed R1 was already dealing with skin irritation to the area.

The CDSS license record checked August 2, 2026 lists Senior's Retreat, Inc. with clearances for wheelchair / non-ambulatory and hospice care; it does not list dementia / memory care and bedridden. A clearance that is not on file is not a “no” — it may simply be unrecorded, so if your family needs one of these, ask the home directly and confirm its current scope on a tour.
From the California state record. Some approvals are bed- or room-specific — always confirm current scope with the facility.

How much does Senior's Retreat, Inc. cost?
California's public licensing record does not include Senior's Retreat, Inc.'s monthly price, so we never show or estimate one for a specific home. As county-level context only, assisted living in Orange County typically runs $5,000–$7,500/mo and small board-and-care homes $4,000–$6,500/mo (market research compiled June 2026 — ranges, not quotes; California's 2026 SSI/SSP board-and-care payment standard is $1,626.07/month, of which $1,444.07 is the room-and-board portion paid to the home). Ask the home for its own rate sheet and what the base rate includes — or use the cost section at the top of this page.
Does Senior's Retreat, Inc. accept Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver?
Senior's Retreat, Inc. is not in the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant record we checked August 9, 2026 — that list covers only the state's ALW program, not a home's own payment policies, so ask the home directly about private Medi-Cal arrangements. The waiver pays for assisted-living care services (not room and board) at participating homes; every DHCS-listed home appears on our statewide Medi-Cal page.

What the state has logged
California has logged 15 state visits for this home as of August 2, 2026. These are the home's own counts, straight from that record — shown beside the statewide median for small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds), computed across all 5,773 licensed homes of that size, because larger and longer-licensed homes naturally accumulate more visits and reports. They are facts, not a grade — a citation may be minor and since corrected, and an “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing.
