Allegation investigated: Staff are not properly assessing residents for a higher level of care Resident's care needs are not being met
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christi Coppo arrived at this facility unannounced to deliver findings on the above allegations. LPA met with Administrator Wendy Cornejo. Complaint alleges residents R1, R2, R3, and R4 are not being properly assessed for a higher level of care. Complainant states these residents should be housed in Memory Care (MC) rather than Assisted Living (AL). During investigation LPA reviewed documents and conducted interviews. Per facility Administrator (Admin) at the initial resident assessment, the facility administers a Saint Louis University Mental Status (SLUMS) exam; a certain score lends to the resident being placed in either MC or AL. A resident’s preplacement appraisal, physician’s report, and their SLUMS exam score are all factored into the placement decision. After their initial exam, they have an assessment every 6 months or if they have a change in condition. During investigation, LPA reviewed the physician’s reports for R1, R2, R3, and R4.

What the state has logged
California has logged 21 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.
