Allegation investigated: Resident developed pressure injury due to lack of care and supervision Facility did not notify family regarding pressure injury
On September 12, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Brandon Lopez made an unannounced visit to deliver the findings of the complaint investigation into the allegations listed above. LPA met with Licensee Allen Medina and explained the reason for the visit. During the course of the investigation, LPA inspected the facility, interviewed staff and residents, obtained and reviewed resident records. The investigation revealed the following: It was alleged that a resident developed a pressure injury due to lack of care and supervision. Resident #1 (R1) was admitted to the facility on April 25, 2025. R1 was also admitted under hospice care on April 25, 2025. R1 moved out of the facility on May 29, 2025, as R1 was admitted to the hospital and did not return to the facility once discharged. Per R1’s Physician Report dated April 28, 2025, R1 has a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and Dementia. R1 was on a mechanical soft diet; requires medical supervision for bowel and bladder impairment; motor impairment/paralysis; is non-ambulatory and requires assistance with all Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). CONTINUED ON LIC9099-C Substantiated LPA reviewed the hospice care reports for R1 dated between April 25, 2025, to May 28, 2025, which stated that on April 25, 2025, R1 has a diagnosis of senile degeneration of the brain, dysphagia, unspecified dementia, chondromalacia patellae in left and right knee, hypothyroidism, heart disease, chronic pain syndrome, essential hypertension, hyperlipemia, gastroesophageal reflux disease without esophagitis, chronic kidney disease, weakness, depression, and generalized anxiety disorder. A skin assessment was done on R1 upon admission on April 25, 2025, in which R1’s skin was normal and intact. R1 was a high risk for pressure ulcers. Per the hospice report dated April 26, 2025, R1 continues to be at high risk for pressure injuries due to immobility and chronic pain. Staff were advised to reposition R1 every two hours to maintain skin integrity, and that staff verbalized understanding of the instructions and to participate actively in R1’s plan of care. Per hospice report dated May 9, 2025, R1 had developed stage 2 pressure sore on her coccyx. The hospice reports further details that wound care treatment was done during the visit and that wound care services for R1 were requested. On May 12, 2025, wound care treatment was done on R1 and staff were advised to continue turning R1 every two hours for wound care prevention and worsening of the wound. On May 23, 2025, R1 continued to develop a stage 2 pressure sore on her coccyx and staff were reinforced to reposition R1 every two to three hours on her sides to off-load pressure on her coccyx. Staff verbalized understanding of the instructions. Hospice care report dated May 28, 2025, a Foley catheter was inserted in R1 for wound management. LPA reviewed the wound care specialist reports for R1 dated between May 12, 2025, and May 27, 2025, which stated that R1 has a pressure induced deep tissue damage of left heel and an unstageable pressure ulcer of sacral region. LPA conducted interviews with four (4) witnesses from R1’s hospice agency. Witness #1 (W1), who admitted R1 was under hospice agency on April 25 and April 26, 2025. W1 confirmed that upon R1 admission, a skin assessment was done on R1 in which R1’s skin was normal, did not have any redness or open wounds. W1 confirmed that R1 was a high risk for pressure ulcers due to R1’s immobility and diagnoses. Four out of four witnesses interviewed confirmed that during hospice visits, orders were given to facility staff to reposition R1 every 2-3 hours to maintain skin integrity and facility staff on duty verbalized to hospice nurse's that they understood the instructions to reposition R1 every 2-3 hours. LPA interviewed five facility staff who were involved in R1’s care between April 25 and May 29, 2025. Five out of five staff confirmed that R1 was not being repositioned every 2-3 hours since April 25, 2025. LPA reviewed the facility’s R1 turning chart records that shows the facility only documented R1 being repositioned on May 28 and May 29, 2025. CONTINUED ON LIC9099-C Facility staff did not consistently reposition R1 every 2-3 hours per hospice care instructions which resulted in R1 being admitted to the hospital on May 29, 2025, due to a wound infection described as a large decubitus ulcer on the back, which was very foul smelling, with yellow-colored discharge draining from it, involving skin subcutaneous tissues, at least to muscle. R1 was discharged from the hospital on June 7, 2025, and was transferred to a skilled nursing facility for a higher level of care for wound care treatment. Based on the evidence gathered during this investigation, the Department obtained sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegation that, resident developed pressure injury due to lack of care and supervision. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is SUBSTANTIATED. See LIC9099D for cited deficiencies per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. Immediate civil penalties are being assessed. See LIC421IM. A Civil Penalty is pending determination by the Community Care Licensing Division. The investigation revealed the following: It was alleged that the facility did not notify the family regarding pressure injury. LPA conducted an interview with R1’s Power of Attorney (POA) who confirmed that the facility did not notify him of R1 developing a pressure injury. The POA stated that he learned about R1’s pressure injury from a wound care specialist who was requesting to treat R1 for her wound. During staff interviews, LPA received an admission from the facility Administrator (AD). The AD confirmed that R1’s family was not being updated regarding R1’s change of condition and that the AD regretted not keeping them updated. Based on the evidence gathered during this investigation, the Department obtained sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegation that, facility did not notify the family regarding pressure injury. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is SUBSTANTIATED. See LIC9099D for cited deficiencies per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee Allen Medina.

“Typical” is the statewide median for licensed homes this size. It does not adjust for years licensed, and older licenses have had more visits and reports. The median is across the 6,916 licensed small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds) in the state record. The figures compared are the state’s totals, not the documents.
What the state’s words mean
CDSS citation definitions (PDF) ↗ · CDSS complaint outcomes ↗
An “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing — it means the state investigated and could not confirm the allegation. Outcome words are the state’s own; we never grade, score, or color a record, and we publish no reviews — the state’s dated documents stand in their place.

A citation does not make a home unsafe, and an empty file does not make a home good.

Among 194 other homes of a similar licensed size across Orange County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $4,500 to $6,000 a month, and the middle figure is $5,000 (n = 194 other homes publishing a starting rate).
Each of those is a home’s own published figure, gathered on its own date between September and October 2026 — not an average of ours, and not a survey. Similar size means small and mid-size homes counted together, and large communities counted on their own, because they are different markets.
A home outside the band is not overcharging or underpricing: a starting rate covers different things in different homes, which is the first thing to ask about.
Only prices a home put out itself count here: its own website, a listing it supplied, or a price a listing site says the home confirmed. Prices a site shows without saying where they came from are left out.
