Allegation investigated: Personal Rights

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jose De La Cruz conducted an unannounced visit regarding the above allegation. LPA was greeted by Resident Care Director Ileen Lund, to whom he identified himself and explained the purpose of the visit. On June 2, 2026, the Reporting Party (RP) alleged that the facility attempted to evict a resident (R1) due to undisclosed behaviors. The complaint also alleged that R1 felt discriminated against and expressed statements indicating they did not want to live anymore. On June 12, 2026, LPA conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to interview staff and review records. Per the Executive Director (ED) and Staff 1 (S1), R1 had not submitted any complaints to the facility regarding staff or feeling discriminated against. [CONTINED ON LIC9099-C] Unsubstantiated [CONTINUED FROM LIC9099] An eviction notice had been delivered to R1, and an eviction date was provided, however, R1 was already looking for a new facility due to having received a previous eviction notice, which required reissuance due to unrelated circumstances. According to the ED, R1 was able to locate and move to a different facility before the effective date of the most recent eviction notice, approximately one week after receiving it. That same day, LPA contacted the RP. RP stated they were aware of the reasons the eviction notice was issued and confirmed that R1 had relocated to a new facility. RP reported that R1 was happy at their new facility and disclosed the reason R1 previously felt discriminated against, which related to the level of care R1 required. RP explained that this need made it difficult for R1 to find a new placement initially. Regarding the statement that R1 “didn’t want to live anymore,” LPA asked RP whether they believed this indicated genuine intent. RP stated that R1 often uses that phrase without intent to act on it and that they did not believe R1 was at risk of self-harm. LPA subsequently visited R1 at their current facility and conducted an interview. R1 stated they wished to move forward and leave the prior situation behind. R1 denied any intention to harm themselves and acknowledged feeling discriminated against during the eviction process. However, R1 expressed optimism about starting over at the new facility and not reliving the previous experience. Based on interviews, record review, and LPA observations, the preponderance of evidence standard was not met. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. No deficiencies were cited in accordance with Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. Report and Appeal Rights were discussed with and provided to the Resident Care Director Ileen Lund.

Allegation investigated: Staff did not assist residents with incontinence care Staff did not treat resident with dignity

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sabel Martinez conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit to deliver findings. The LPA introduced himself and disclosed the purpose of the visit to Executive Director Vonda Boller. Throughout the investigation, the Department secured records and conducted interviews with external and internal sources, including staff and clients. It was alleged staff did not assist residents with incontinence care. On March 11th, 2024, it was reported to the Department staff were not assisting residents and residents were left in soiled briefs. The LPA interviewed two residents (Resident # 2 (R2) and Resident # 3 (R3)), who were allegedly witnessed to be left in soiled briefs. The LPA was not able to qualify R2, as R2 was not able to answer the LPAs questions. An external source providing services to R2 did not report any concerns regarding lack of incontinence care for R2. (See LIC 9099-C page for continuation of report.) Substantiated R3 was qualified to be oriented during an interview. R3 did not have any concerns with the lack of care and noted staff would assist within a reasonable time. One source revealed management had discussed call button response times with the facility's receptionist. The call button calls went to the receptionist and the receptionist relayed the calls to staff. Management believed the receptionist was not relaying the calls to staff; therefore, response times were high. This source confirmed the receptionist did relay the calls to floor staff, and several residents and family members had reported concerns with how long it took staff to respond. The response time ranged from five minutes up to forty minutes. Additional interviews with internal sources corroborated several residents had disclosed concerns with how long it took staff to respond to calls for assistance. An additional source reported response times for incontinence care could be up to thirty minutes. Based on the evidence obtained, the allegation was substantiated. It was alleged staff did not treat a resident with dignity. It was reported to the Department staff made Resident #1 (R1) feel ashamed when R1 requested assistance. An interview with one source revealed staff had made comments about having to assist R1. These comments were not made in the presence of R1, but the comments gave the impression staff did not want to assist R1. An interview with R1 confirmed staff had not refuse to assist R1, but staff had made comments that made R1 feel ashamed to ask for assistance with incontinence care. R1 did not report this concern to management. An interview with an external source, who regularly visited the facility, reported some residents had reported concerns regarding staff interactions, including staff not treating residents with dignity. An interview with an additional resident also revealed staff had raised their voice and made condescending comments toward the resident. Although R1 did not report this concern to management, there is enough evidence to substantiate the allegation. The deficiencies were cited in an LIC 9099-D page and a plan of correction was jointly formulated with Executive Director Vonda Boller. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Boller, to whom a copy of this report, LIC 811, LIC 9099D and Licensee/Appeals Rights (LIC 9058), were provided.

Interviews with several internal sources did not reveal any concerns with lack of assistance with showers, nor residents sustaining any wounds as a result. An interview with an external source providing services to R5 reported there were no concerns regarding the facility not assisting R5 with showers. This source also noted there were no concerns with R5 developing any wounds due to inappropriate assistance with showers. One source did report the facility did not assist a resident with showers. Interviews revealed contradicting statements on whether staff did, or did not assist this resident. It was alleged staff did not ensure a resident had clothing. It was reported to the Department the facility did not ensure Resident # 6 (R6) had enough clothing. Interviews with internal sources revealed R6 had enough clothing, but R6 preferred to wear dresses. Sources had witnessed staff redirecting R6 to R6’s bedroom to assist with clothing changes. On one occasion, R6 was witnessed in a common are only wearing undergarments. Interviews with external sources, including an agency providing services to R6, revealed there were no concerns with R6 not having enough clothing. As R6’s health declined, R6 developed anxiety and a concern of R6 undressing was discussed with an external source. It was also revealed the facility communicated with R6’s responsible party to request additional clothing. Interviews did not reveal any concerns with staff encouraging R6 to stay in R6’s bedroom, nor staff preventing R6 from participating in activities and ambulating through the facility. Based on the evidence obtained, there was not enough evidence to prove the alleged violations occurred, therefore, the allegations were unsubstantiated.

Allegation investigated: Lack of supervision resulted in sexual abuse

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Sabel Martinez, conducted an unannounced follow up complaint investigation visit to deliver complaint findings. The LPA introduced himself and disclosed the purpose of the visit to Chief of Operations Aurora Madueno. Throughout the investigation, the Department secured records and conducted interviews with external and internal sources, including staff and residents. It was alleged lack of supervision resulted in sexual abuse. On July 21st, 2023, it was reported to the Department Resident # 1 (R1) was sexually assaulted at the facility, by an unknown male. R1 was noted to be alert and oriented to person, place, and situation. It was also noted R1 required assistance with Incontinent care, and full assistance with transferring in and out of bed. R1 was not diagnosed with Dementia, but Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) was noted. (See LIC 9099C for Continuation). Unsubstantiated Additionally, R1 had an auditory and visual impairment, incontinent of both bowel and bladder, and a motor impairment. On July 4th, 2023, R1 attended the facility’s BBQ during the day and was witnessed watching the fireworks display in the Baldwin room with other residents. An interview with R1 revealed the following information. On or about the early morning of July 4th, 2023, R1 was awakened by an unknown male touching R1’s genitals. R1 asked this male what he was doing, without commenting, the unknown male walked out of the room. R1 reported the unknown male was confronted by another male outside R1’s doorway who asked the unknown male what he was doing in that room. R1 heard the other male comment, “what are you doing? this is not your room.” R1 did not call for help, nor push R1’s pendant that was on the night stand at the time. R1 lived independently and did not report the incident until the following morning when R1’s daughter visited. R1 reported feeling safe residing at the facility and felt secured now that R1 doors locked R1's door in the evenings. Interviews with staff consistently reported there was no male staff working on the shift in question. Staff who reported checking on R1 throughout the evening did not notice anyone walking around the facility late at night. R1 had a night light in the room that was on during the evening, and it illuminated the room, in case R1 got up to use the bathroom. Staff noticed R1 was in R1’s room and did not hear anything unusual. R1’s room was near the medication room and staff would have heard any verbal altercations or disruptions in the hallway. Interviews with residents, and R1’s neighbors, revealed they did not hear, nor saw anything unusual that evening. Residents reported if there was any type of verbal disturbance in the hallways, they would have heard it, as it was usually quiet at that time. Interviews with R1, R1’s neighbors, and staff confirmed R1 would leave the apartment door open and unlocked. This was also upon R1’s family request. (See additional LIC 9099C for continuation of report.) Review of the San Diego Police Department’s (SDPD) Crime/ Incident report corroborated R1 had disclosed the same information about the incident, that was reported to the Department. An officer with SDPD reviewed facility surveillance footage and determined an unknown male entered the facility on the date in question, at approximately 9:42 pm, through the main entrance door. This male was seen exiting the facility at approximately 9:44 pm. Interviewed staff were not able to identify who this male was, and it was noted it could be a family member, or someone dropping off a package, but this was not clear. SDPD submitted a Be on Look Out (BOLO) bulletin of a photo of the unknown male entering the facility, but no one had responded to it. It appeared there was not enough information to continue the police investigation and it would be suspended until additional information was obtained. Since the incident, the facility placed cameras in the hallways and throughout the building. R1’s bedroom door was now locked. There was no information to support that the unidentified individual in the surveillance footage entered R1's bedroom. There was no information to support that the alleged sexual abuse occurred, and it is unclear who entered R1’s apartment on the evening of July 4th, 2023.
