Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Pang Lee arrived on 03/07/25 for unannounced inspection to follow up on a substantiated allegation of Neglect/lack of supervision. On March 1, 2023, the Department concluded a complaint investigation which alleged the following allegations: due to staff neglect, a resident was hospitalized; and resident not treated with dignity and respect. The licensee was cited for violating California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22, section 87465(a)(1) Incidental Medical and Dental Care for failure to arrange, or assist in arranging, for medical and dental care appropriate to the conditions and needs of a resident resulting in the resident being hospitalized and requiring surgery. At the time of the complaint visit on March 1, 2023, an immediate civil penalty of five hundred dollars ($500) was issued and the licensee was informed that an additional civil penalty might be assessed based on Health and Safety Code § 1569.49. The Department has concluded an analysis and has determined that a civil penalty is warranted for serious bodily injury. The Welfare and Institutions Code Section §15610.67 defines serious bodily injury as "an injury involving extreme physical pain, substantial risk of death, or protracted loss or impairment of a function of a bodily member, organ, or of mental faculty, or requiring medical intervention, including but not limited to, hospitalization, surgery, or physical rehabilitation.” This is evidenced based on observation, interviews, and records reviewed; the licensee did not obtain timely medical attention for a resident's (R1) leg wound for two to three weeks. R1's leg wound became infected and required hospitalization, surgical intervention and wound vacuum placement on R1. Continued LIC -809-C Today, 03/07/25, the Department is issuing a civil penalty per Health and Safety Code Section 1569.49(f) for a violation that the Department constitutes as serious bodily injury in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). However, since an immediate civil penalty of five hundred dollars ($500) was previously issued on March 1, 2023, the amount of the civil penalty issued today will be nine thousand five hundred dollars ($9,500). Exit interview conducted. A copy of this report LIC 809 and appeal rights was provided to licensee Lita Vinluan. Signature on this report acknowledges receipt of the Appeal Rights, found on page two of LIC 421-D.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Mar 7, 2025

On March 1, 2023, the Department concluded a complaint investigation which alleged the following allegations: due to staff neglect, a resident was hospitalized; and Client not treated with dignity and respect. The allegations were substantiated, the licensee was cited for violating California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22, § 87465(a)(1) Incidental Medical and Dental Care for failure to arrange, or assist in arranging, for medical and dental care appropriate to the conditions and needs of resident resulting in the resident being hospitalized and requiring surgery. Resident #1 (R1) obtained a wound on R1's leg that became infected and required hospitalization and surgery. Responding paramedics and treating physician concurred that leg wound was likely infected for approximately 1 week prior to admission to hospital The investigation revealed that Staff #1 (S1) reported Resident #1 (R1) had a wound to R1's leg for about 2-3 weeks. S1 stated that R1 had a blister on R1's leg for about four days. The blister popped then the wound started getting worse. S1 told R1's family, but S1 was not sure if they saw the wound. S1 told R1's sister, (A1) that R1 had a sore on R1's leg. A1 brought bandages and medicated ointment. S1 was not sure if A1 saw the wound. S1 thought the wound would get better. On 9/8/2022, R1's niece, A2 visited R1. At this time S1 told A2 that R1 had a scratch to R1's leg. A2 reported that S1 made it sound like it was not a big deal and did not think any of it. On 9/12/2022, S1 sent A2 a picture of the leg. A2 was “shocked.” A2 contacted R1's doctor who said to send R1 to the emergency. room. R1 went to the emergency room on 9/12/2022, by ambulance. Continued LIC 809-C THIS REPORT WAS CREATED IN ERROR. The paramedic report notes that the caregiver said the wound had been infected for about one week. The paramedic, Blake Rivera (P1), was interviewed and reported R1 had a “very infected” wound on R1's foot/shin area. It did not appear wound care was being done. The wound did not appear to be in healing stages, and the wound had a smell. P1 reported that the bandages were dirty, and it looked like they hadn’t been changed. P1 also reported R1 had a fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit. R1 was seen by (D1) who was not sure how long R1 had the wound. R1’s wound which appeared to be old, it got worse and had become infected. (D2). performed a surgical procedure to the wound. D2 reported that R1 had a blood clot that had become infected, the wounds were incised and drained. Per the operating room report, there was minimal pus, and it was more dead tissue that was removed. D2 had no idea if R1 had had the infection for some time. D2 felt the paramedic report of the wound being infected for about one week was reasonable based on his assessment, and it would usually take about one week to develop an infection S1 reported that R1's leg had been like it was depicted on 9/12/22 for about two weeks. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the licensee failed to obtain timely medical attention when the resident had a change condition and worsening wound. The licensee failed to obtain timely emergent care for the resident which caused the resident to suffer serious bodily injury to include a leg infection that required surgery.

At the time of the complaint visit, the issuance of a Civil Penalty was still being determined and the licensee was informed that a civil penalty might be assessed based on Health and Safety Code §1548(e)(1)(A). The Department has concluded an analysis and has determined that an Enhanced Civil Penalty is warranted for serious bodily injury. The Penal Code § 243 defines serious bodily injury as “a serious impairment of physical condition, including, but not limited to, the following: loss of consciousness; concussion; bone fracture; protracted loss or impairment of function of any bodily member or organ; a wound requiring extensive suturing; and serious disfigurement.” Today, 08/18/2023, the Department will be issuing a Civil Penalty per Health and Safety Code §1548(e)(1)(A) for $10,000.

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.
