Allegation investigated: Staff do not ensure medications are dispensed as prescribed
Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Vincent Moleski and Triel Lindstrom arrived unannounced to deliver findings on this complaint investigation. LPA Moleski met with executive director Edward Ocegueda and explained the purpose of the visit. LPA Moleski reviewed a resident's (R1's) medication administration records. LPA Moleski observed an order for a narcotic painkiller dated April 2025. The order stated that R1 was to receive one half tablet per day as needed for pain. R1 was not to receive more than one half tablet within 24 hours. LPA Moleski reviewed a change order, dated May 9, 2025. R1's prescription was updated such that R1 was ordered to receive two half tablets of the medication per day. However, prior to the change order, on April 27, 2025, R1 received two half tablets of the medication, according to R1's paper narcotic MARs. LPA Moleski asked the facility's health services director (S1) if there were additional prescription orders which would explain this incident.

What the state has logged
California has logged 26 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 larger communities (16+ beds), computed across all 1,244 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.
