$3,500 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living studio, seen September 9, 2026.
Among 15 other homes of a similar licensed size in Los Angeles that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,000 to $6,221 a month, and the middle figure is $3,594 (n = 15 other homes publishing a starting rate).
Each of those is a home’s own published figure, gathered on its own date in September 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.
The price is made in the phone call. Nothing here is a quote, an offer or a discount.
A starting rate is the room and the base care. California homes commonly bill care levels, medication management, supplies, transport and a second person in the room as extras. Many also charge a one-time fee at move-in. Ask for that list in writing before anything is signed.
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. What Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver covers in a care home.

Avoid surprises on the billWhat changes the price, and what to ask
- The care level
Some homes charge one all-inclusive rate. Others add levels or points as needs grow. Ask how the level is set, who decides, and what the next level costs.
- What is billed separately
Medication management, incontinence supplies, transportation and a second person in the room are often extra. Ask for the list in writing.
- Move-in costs
A one-time community fee or deposit is common. Ask what it covers and whether any of it comes back if the stay is short.
- Increases
California requires at least 90 days’ written notice, with reasons, before a rate rises (Health & Safety Code §1569.655). A change in the resident’s care level is the section’s own exception and can be billed sooner.
- What is the full monthly cost for the room and care we need, and what does it include?
- What would the next care level cost, and who decides when it changes?
- What is billed separately, and is there a one-time fee or deposit at move-in?
- Is any private-pay period required before another payment program can begin?
How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from
The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living studio, seen September 9, 2026.
16 homes like this within 5 miles publish starting rates mostly between $2,750–$9,150.
- Only prices a home put out itself count: its own website, a listing it supplied, or a price Seniorly says the home confirmed. Prices a listing site shows without saying where they came from are left out.
- Nearby homes are the nearest of the same size that publish a rate, widening from 3 to 40 miles until at least 8 do. The estimate starts from what they charge, then adjusts for this home’s size, state care approvals, Medi-Cal waiver participation, years licensed and the area’s prices.
- Room, care-level, second-person and move-in lines come from what California homes publish on listing sites. Memory care uses Covelight’s researched premium over assisted living.
- Totals add each line’s figure and combine the lines’ ranges as separate charges, because a home is rarely at the top, or the bottom, of every line at once.
- We tested this estimate on 1,546 California homes that publish their own starting rate. It was within 10% of the real rate for 3 in 10 homes and within 25% for 7 in 10; the likely range held the real rate for 6 in 10 (September 12, 2026).

Type of visit: Case Management - Other
Licensing Program Analyst, (LPA) arrived on August 12, 2026, for an unannounced inspection to follow up on a substantiated allegation of complaint investigation. On May 1, 2026, the Department concluded a complaint investigation regarding the following allegations: Resident sustained multiple fractures while in care and staff did not seek timely medical attention for the resident in care. The licensee was cited for California Code of Regulations (CCR) § 87466 Observation of the Resident; CCR § 87468.1(a)(2) Personal Rights of Residents in All Facilities. At the time of the complaint visit on May 1, 2026, an immediate civil penalty of $ 500 was issued and the licensee was informed that an additional civil penalty might be assessed based on Health and Safety Code § 1569.49(f). 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 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 by the facility failing to provide appropriate care, proper assistance and supervision, implement a Plan of Care to ensure R1's safety and prevent injuries, and obtain a physician assessment for the resident prior to admission which resulted in serious bodily injury requiring hospitalization for multiple injuries [brain bleeds and fractures (rib & hip). Evaluation Report continues LIC 809-C Today, August 12, 2026, the Department will be issuing a civil penalty per Health and Safety Code § 1569.49(f) for a violation that the Department determines constitutes as serious bodily injury in the amount of $10,000. However, since an immediate civil penalty of $ 500 was previously issued on May 1, 2026, the amount of the civil penalty issued today will be $9,500. Exit interview conducted.

It is reported that (R1) has a deep tissue injury to the sacrum that is unstageable, as well as an unstageable open ulcer on the right hip and a severe unstageable ulcer on the left foot, which exhibits sloughing tissue. On May 8, 2025, Resident #1 (R1) was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a comprehensive evaluation and management of (R1's) health conditions. Upon admission, the medical team conducted a thorough wound assessment. The assessment revealed that (R1) suffered from a significant deep tissue injury located on (R1's) sacrum, which was classified as unstageable due to its severity and the absence of visible tissue layers. Additionally, (R1) presented with an open ulcer on (R1's) right hip, characterized by exposed underlying tissue and signs of infection. Furthermore, a severe ulcer was noted on (R1's) left foot, also unstageable, with sloughing tissues indicating advanced tissue damage and complicating factors that would require targeted intervention and careful monitoring throughout (R1's) treatment plan. On June 17, 2026, and June 22, 2026, between 10:37 AM and 04:10 PM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #5. Five (5) out of the five (5) staff members acknowledged that (R1) was treated for pressure injuries.

(R1) was in and out of hospitals during (R1's) residency at Hayworth Terrace and was sent to skilled nursing in April 2025 and returned to the facility before (R1’s) passing, according to (S1). (S1) stated that (R1) had a history of respiratory failure with hypoxia. (S1-S2) reported that (R1) was being serviced by Excellent Home Health and Wound Rescue Specialist effective April 18, 2025, until June 08, 2026, when (R1) was admitted to Cedars Sinai Hospital. While the facility staff addressed (R1's) assisted daily living activities daily. Witness #1 identified the party responsible for (R1) as not available for an interview, as telephone calls were not returned. The Department reviewed (R1’s) County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health Certificate of Death (dated 07/25/25) indicated (R1’s) death was an immediate cause of Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure with underlying cause of Septic shock, pneumonia, and Alzheimer’s Dementia.

Excellent Home Health and the Wound Rescue Specialist coordinated their efforts, with the Wound Rescue Specialist visiting (R1) once a week. . According to (S2-S5), the staff is trained to reposition residents every two to three hours and provide hygiene and incontinence care.

(S2) stated that they are responsible for training the staff to spot pressure injuries. (S2) instructs the staff to look for signs, such as redness or blisters, on the skin before an open wound. If staff see these symptoms, they must inform the administrator. The administrator will then contact the primary physician and family representatives to obtain a referral for home health or hospice services. Additionally, (S1) could not provide any documentation from Excellent Home Health or Wound Rescue Specialist, incident reports, or wound care related to (R1's) pressure injuries. As a result, (R1) continues to experience pressure injuries due to poor circulation, having been bedbound.

On May 1, 2026, the California Department of Social Services/Community Care Community Care Licensing (CDSS/CCL) Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ernand Dabuet conducted an initial unannounced complaint visit. Licensed Vocational Nurse, Hee Kyung Park, greeted the (LPA). (LPA) explained the purpose of the visit is to deliver the findings for the allegations mentioned above. The investigation consisted of the following: The complaint was referred to the California Department of Social Services Investigation Bureau for investigation and was assigned to Investigator Sonia Torre. Records subpoenaed included Los Angeles Fire Department Records and 9-1-1 Audio Records (dated 12/01/25), Cedars Sinai Medical Center Records (dated 12/12/25), Olympica Convalescent Hospital Records (02/09/26), California Department of Public Health Records (dated 02/09/26), Starline Hospice Records (dated 02/18/26), Photographs taken by Facility Staff (dated 02/09/26), Patient Care Report (dated 11/09/25). Furthermore, the investigator conducted interviews with Staff #1- #8(S1-S8), Witness #1-W#2 (W1-W2), and Resident #2-#4 (R2-R4). (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Substantiated INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: Allegation #1: Resident sustained multiple fractures while in care. It is alleged that the facility staff failed to provide adequate supervision for Resident #1 (R1), who sustained multiple fractures while in their care. Reports indicate that (R1) was admitted to the hospital following an unwitnessed fall. Further information revealed that (R1) suffered various traumatic injuries, including pneumocephalus, subdural hematoma, epidural hematoma, and a closed facial fracture, all consistent with a single fall. No additional details regarding this incident are available. Resident #1 (R1) was admitted to Hayworth Terrace on September 15, 2025, as documented in the facility’s Residential Care Admission Agreement (dated 09/15/25). On November 9, 2025, (R1) was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in a fall. On January 13, 2026, February 9, 2026, February 12, 2026, February 23, 2026, between 09:40 AM and 02:50 PM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #8 (S1-S8). (8) eight out of eight (8) could not corroborate this claim. On November 9, 2026, (R1) experienced a fall incident resulting in head injuries, necessitating treatment at Cedars Sinai Hospital. (S1) reported discovering (R1) lying by the exterior stairway and believed (R1) had fallen down the stairs, though the specifics of the fall—such as the number of steps—remain unclear. (S1) emphasized that (R1) requires constant supervision since (R1) frequently moves around the facility. Notably, (4) out of (8) staff members corroborated that (R1) has a history of unwitnessed falls, typically resulting in minor injuries. All staff members interviewed agreed that (R1) suffers from Major Neurocognitive Disorder (NCD) and is physically fragile. Additionally, (S7) confirmed that (R1) lacked a Physician's Report LIC 602A, or any formal medical assessment, as (R1) was categorized as a "temporary" resident. On January 13, 2026, between 10:15 AM and 12:15 PM, the Department interviewed resident members identified as Resident #2 through Resident #4 (R2-R4). Three (3) out of three (3) could not support this claim. All residents expressed they had no concerns about the level of care and supervision provided by staff. Resident #1 (R1) was unavailable for interview due to death. On November 26, 2025, and February 23, 2026, between 09:36 AM and 03:31 PM, the Department interviewed witness members identified as Witness #1 and Witness #2 (W1-W2). (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Two (2) out of two (2) witness members were able to corroborate the claim. (W1) reported that (RI) had (NCD) but could walk independently. (R1) lost significant weight and appeared frail during (W1’s) visits. On November 9, 2025, (W1) learned that (R1) had fallen and required, but was initially stable. The next day, the hospital reported a brain bleed. After a week in the ICU, (W1) chose comfort-focused treatment. (R1) was moved to a skilled nursing facility and passed away on November 21, 2025. (W2) pointed out that the injuries exhibited by (R1) at the hospital were inconsistent with a simple ground-level fall. Notably, staff discovered (R1) lying at the foot of a stairway. (W2) emphasized that, given this context, it is entirely apparent that the injuries resulted from a fall down the stairs, which would account for the observed severity. A review of the facility's records revealed the absence of a Physician's Report, which should have included essential information on medication, medical diagnoses, and physical restrictions, to assess whether the facility could provide the appropriate level of care for Resident #1 (R1). Additionally, the Needs and Services Plan was not complete and failed to identify any of (R1's) mental, physical, or health needs. Furthermore, an examination of Cedars Sinai Medical Records (dated 12/12/25) verified that (R1) had been diagnosed with multiple severe traumatic brain injuries and facial injuries including bilateral frontal subarachnoid hematomas (8mm right, 4mm left), a bilateral frontal subarachnoid hemorrhage, and a left temporal epidural hematoma (9mm). There are also displaced fractures in the left zygomatic arch, frontal and anterior temporal bones, left orbital wall, and left maxillary sinus, as well as a nondisplaced C6 articular pillar fracture, a displaced right pubic root fracture, and a closed left fifth rib fracture. During the investigation, records were reviewed, and interviews were conducted with both residents and facility staff. An inspection also found that no surveillance cameras were installed, either inside or outside, to monitor residents. Moreover, it was noted that the stairways leading to the second floor were accessible, which posed safety risks. Based on the evidence gathered, interviews conducted, and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above-mentioned allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Allegation #2: Staff did not to seek timely medical attention for the resident in care. It is alleged that the facility staff failed to provide timely medical attention for Resident #1 (R1). Reports indicate that (R1) experienced an unwitnessed fall on November 9, 2025, resulting in multiple fractures and injuries. Further report indicated (R1) did not receive appropriate medical care in a timely manner and received only basic care from facility staff. No further details regarding this incident are available. On January 13, 2026, February 9, 2026, February 12, 2026, February 23, 2026, between 09:40 AM and 02:50 PM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #8 (S1-S8). Eight (8) out of the eight (8) staff members confirmed that (R1) experienced an unwitnessed fall and sustained injuries early in the morning on November 9, 2026. On the morning of November 9, 2026, (R1) was found on the floor by the stairway, bleeding and injured at approximately 9:00 AM. (S1) reported that (R1) was distressing, appearing "in bad shape" and "kind of unresponsive," with visible facial injuries. (S1 and S2) helped (R1) back to (R1’s) room and provided only minimal care, such as wiping the blood and applying a bandage to (R1's) head. Neither (S1) nor (S2) reported this serious incident to management or contacted (R1's) primary physician. At around 11:30 AM, (S3) entered (R1's) room and discovered them sitting on the bed with a bandage still wrapped around (R1's) head. Observing continued bleeding, (S3) replaced the bandage. Later, around 3:00 PM, (S4) found (R1) lying on the floor of (R1’s) room, the bandage missing. (S4) noticed (R1's) eyes were shut, discolored, and swollen, which raised concerns that (R1) may have suffered another fall. (S4) immediately informed (S3) and insisted that a 9-1-1 call is necessary. (S1-S3) stated that 9-1-1 was not called after (R1) fell because staff were instructed to notify the Medication Technician for assessment and to notify management. (S1-S2) did not consider (R1) needed medical attention since (R1) was able to get up independently, despite having facial injuries and bleeding. On January 13, 2026, between 10:15 AM and 12:15 PM, the Department interviewed resident members identified as Resident #2 through Resident #4 (R2-R4). Three (3) out of three (3) could not support this claim. All residents expressed they had no concerns about the level of care and supervision provided by staff. Resident #1 (R1) was unavailable for interview due to death. On December 1, 2026, at 10:27 AM, the Department received audio calls from Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and 9-1-1. The initial 9-1-1 call was made at approximately 3:24 PM, reporting that (R1) had experienced a fall from a standing position. Units were dispatched at 3:26 PM and arrived at the facility by 3:34 PM. At 3:52 PM, (EMS) transported (R1) to Cedars Sinai Hospital. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) The Department reviewed records consisting of: Unusual Incident Report/Injury Report (dated 11/09/26); Client/Resident Face Sheet; Identification and Emergency Information; Admissions Agreement (dated 09/15/25); Consent for Emergency Medical Treatment (dated 09/15/25); Appraisal/Needs and Services Plan; and Medication Administration Record. Further review of Los Angeles Fire Department Records (dated 12/01/25), the 9-1-1 Audio Call (dated 12/01/25), Cedars Sinai Medical Records (dated 12/12/25), and Patient Care Report (dated 11/09/25) revealed that the facility failed to provide timely medical attention to (R1), who sustained multiple fractures and head injuries during a fall. Based on the evidence gathered, interviews conducted, and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above-mentioned allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8), the above-mentioned deficiency was observed, and citation issued (ref. LIC 9099 D). An exit interview was conducted with Terri Han, and copies of the report and appeal rights were provided. *Immediate Civil Penalty issued* ECP: At this time, an enhanced civil penalty determination is pending in reference to Health & Safety Code 1569.49(f) For a violation that the department determines constitutes physical abuse, as defined in Section 15610.63 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, or resulted in serious bodily injury, as defined in Section 15610.67 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, to a resident, the civil penalty shall be ten thousand dollars ($10,000). INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: Allegation #3: Staff are unable to effectively communicate with emergency response agency. It is alleged staff are unable to communicate with Emergency Response agency effectively. It is reported that the Los Angeles Fire Department was unable to communicate effectively with staff due to lack of English-speaking personnel and only spoke Korean. No further details regarding this incident are available. Reports indicate that Resident #1(R1) was admitted to the hospital following an unwitnessed fall. Further information revealed that (R1) was transported by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) on November 9, 2025, to Cedars Sinai Medical Center Hospital. On May 1, 2026, 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM the Department interviewed staff member identified as Staff #6 through Staff #9 (S6-S9). Four (4) out of the four (4) staff members could not support this claim. (S6) claimed that there is always an English-speaking staff to assist with residents, visitors and agencies. (S1) claimed that (6) out of (26) personnel staff member are fluent English communicators. While the other personnel staff are fluent in Korean or Spanish. (S9) who was present during the incident on November 9, 2025, with (R1) assisted with communications with (EMS) and stated there were no issues with communications with the (EMS) authorities. On January 13, 2026, and May 1, 2026, between 10:15 AM and 01:30 PM, the Department interviewed residents identified as Resident #2 through Resident #8 (R2-R8). Eight (8) out of three (8) could not corroborate this claim. Residents are satisfied with the care and supervision of the staff, noting that communication effectively meets their needs. (R5-R8) values the diverse language support, which enables smooth, uninterrupted care for residents. An analysis review of the Facility Resident Roster (dated 05/01/26) shows diversity among residents: 31% primarily communicate in Korean, and 69% primarily communicate in English. A further analysis of the Personnel Staff Roster (dated 05/01/26) shows that only 4.3% of the staff are proficient in English, whereas 95.7% are fluent in either Korean or Spanish. The staffing is designed to effectively meet the needs of their predominantly Korean-speaking residents, ensuring better communication and care. Based on the information gathered from the facility inspection, observations, interviews, and records analysis, the Department found no evidence to support the above allegation. The allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegation is Unsubstantiated.

The investigation consisted of the following: On June 25, 2025, the department conducted an initial visit and met with House Manager Miran Bae (S2). A subsequent visit was completed by the department on November 08, 2025. During the initial visit, the department conducted a tour of the facility's physical plant and observed residents in care.

(Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Substantiated This complaint was referred to the California Department of Social Services Investigation Bureau for investigation and was assigned to Investigator Christine Ferris. As part of the investigation, Investigator Ferris subpoenaed medical progress notes from Besht Wellness Center (dated 06/13/25), Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Records (dated 07/08/25), Home Health Care Medical Records (dated 01/24/25), Behst Wellness Center Medical Records (dated 06/01/25) Besht Wellness Center (dated 07/01/25) Besht Wellness Progress Notes (dated 05/14/25), ALSO Home Health Care, Inc (dated 01/09/25), Professional Care Home Health, Inc (dated 05/10/25) and Besht Wellness Center Progress Notes (dated 06/15/25). Furthermore, the investigator conducted interviews with Staff #1- #4(S1-S4), Witness #1-W#2 (W1-W2), and Resident #1-#2 (R1-R2). INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: ALLEGATION #1: Staff did not seek timely medical attention for resident leading to hospitalization. ALLEGATION #2: Staff refused to call 911 for resident. It has been alleged that Resident #1 (R1) did not receive timely medical attention, which ultimately resulted in hospitalization. Additionally, staff allegedly refused to call 911 when needed. Between June 1, 2025, and June 3, 2025, it was noted that (R1) was in pain and was being treated with pain patches and pain pills. During this time, the facility was contacted several times, but no one was available to respond to the calls. On June 14, 2025, a request was made for (R1) to receive hospital treatment for the right arm, but staff again refused to call 911. The facility maintains that it is not responsible for transporting the resident to the hospital, even with a doctor's correspondence for medical treatment in place. Staff indicated they needed a physician's referral before contacting 911 for hospitalization, and it was clear they were unwilling to call for emergency assistance. On July 09, 2025, at 11:30 AM, the Department interviewed Resident #1 (R1). (R1) reported to have been living at Hayworth Terrace for about six months (date of placement 12/18/24). (R1) expressed (R1) fell out of bed and informed staff about the fall. (R1) advised staff (R1) was in pain “every day”, and the staff gave (R1) “pain pill”, and place “pain patch” on (R1’s) arm. (R1) added that “No one thought I was hurt”. (Evaluation Report continue LIC 9099-C) On July 09, 2025, and August 11, 2025, between 11:30 AM and 02:00PM, staff members interviewed identified as Staff #1 through Staff #4 (S1-S4) all denied both allegations. (S1-S4) stated they were unaware of any fall involving (R1) and that (R1) never notified them about it. However, (3) out of the (4) staff members were aware or made aware of (R1) being provided with pain pills and pain patches for (R1’s) shoulder pain for several days less or a week. (S1-S4) claimed that (R1’s) pain to the back and right shoulder was due to being “elderly” and had carried a “heavy bag” so complaining was not unusual. (S1-S3) claimed to have no documentation of over-the-counter medications or incidents of falls for (R1). Regarding the procedure for contacting emergency services, (S1) stated that Besht Wellness Center has instructed its staff to call 911 and arrange for Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) when necessary. According to (S2), policy dictates that if a resident falls and sustains an injury, 911 should be called or the resident should be taken to see a doctor. On July 07, 2025, at 11:00 AM, the Department interviewed Witness #1 (W1). According to (W1), on May 22, 2025, (W1) was informed about (R1's) bed fall, and the facility cannot contact 911 without a doctor's approval. On July 31, 2025, at 03:00 PM, the Department interviewed Witness #2 (W2). (W2) reported that an X-ray order was sent to Besht Wellness Center on May 2, 2025, by (S4). (R1) had been experiencing moderate pain for seven days. The X-rays were performed on May 8, 2025. (W2) confirmed that (R1's) shoulder issue was classified as “chronic” because treatment did not start until May 14, 2025, despite the pain being reported on May 2, 2025. This delay contributed to the chronic classification. On July 30, 2025, and September 17, 2025, between 01:00 PM and 04:00 PM resident members interviewed identified as Resident #2 to Resident #5 (R2-R5). Four (4) of the (4) claimed they were unable to support the staff's refusal-to-contact-911 allegation. (R2-R5) were unaware of any harm and denied knowing about the staff's refusal to provide timely medical assistance with 911. The Department reviewed medical progress notes from Besht Wellness Center (dated 06/13/25), which indicated that attempts to reach the facility regarding (R1’s) fracture were unsuccessful. “Attempted to contact the facility multiple times using all phone numbers on file; no answer and disconnected.” Transfer orders were sent to the facility by fax on May 13, 2025, due to a lack of response. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Besht Wellness Center sent an email to the facility stating (R1’s) X-Ray shows a fracture-dislocation of the proximal humerus and advised (R1) to be transported to the emergency department for treatment via (NEMT). Further review of the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center medical records (dated 07/08/25) reported an inability to reach the facility, as noted in the documents, “Multiple attempts were made to reach staff at the assisted living facility with no success.” Medical records revealed (R1) notable for an obvious deformity,” and “it is possible that since the shoulder might have been out for up to a week, reduction is no longer possible.” The Department reviewed the California Department of Social Services Provider Information Notice (PIN) 25-06-ASC, dated June 24, 2025. The notice states that it is best practice for the licensee to immediately call 9-1-1 if a resident is experiencing serious injuries, such as “obvious broken bones”, or if they have “falls with complaint of pain or loss of range of motion.” Based on the gathered information, the facility showed no urgency in following up on June 6, 2025, X-ray results, despite staff knowing that (R1) was in "severe pain," according to (S4) and medical records. Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center indicated (R1's) fracture required surgery, likely due to the delayed medical attention. The staff noted that (R1) had significant pain for a week, relying on over-the-counter medications for relief. However, there was a lack of communication about arranging Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) to meet (R1's) needs. Based on the evidence gathered, interviews conducted, and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above-mentioned allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8), the above-mentioned deficiencies were observed, and citation issued (ref. LIC 9099D). *Immediate Civil Penalty issued* An exit interview was conducted with , and copies of the reports were provided.

Allegation investigated: Staff did not ensure residents' air conditioner was working properly.
On September 10, 2025, the California Department of Social Services/Community Care Licensing (CDSS/CCL) Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ernand Dabuet conducted an initial unannounced complaint visit. Terri Han, Assistant to the Administrator, greeted the LPA. (LPA) explained that the purpose of the visit is to investigate the allegation mentioned above. The investigation included interviews, a collection of records, and a tour of the facility. Interviews were conducted with Staff #1 and Staff #2 (S1-S2). The Department reviewed several documents, including the Facility Resident Roster (dated 09/10/25), Facility Personnel Roster (dated 09/10/25), Air Conditioning Invoice #0383770 (dated 09/04/25), and (R1's) Physicians Report LIC 602A (dated 11/15/22), as well as other pertinent records associated with this complaint. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Unsubstantiated INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: Allegation: Staff did not ensure the residents’ air conditioner was working properly. The complaint alleges that the staff at the facility did not ensure that Resident #1 (R1's) air conditioner was functioning correctly. It has been reported that the air conditioner in the middle hallway on the second floor is either broken or malfunctioning, while the rest of the floor below is operating correctly and remains cool. No additional information about this situation was provided. On September 10, 2025, between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 and Staff #2. Two (2) of the two (2) staff members were unable to validate this claim. (S1) stated that the air conditioning (AC) unit in room #45 is functioning correctly for Resident #1 (R1). In contrast, (S2), who has been closely monitoring service records for (R1), has not reported any issues with the air conditioning system. (S1) mentioned that (R1) informed about the AC system's malfunction on August 27, 2025. (S1) inspected the thermostat unit that controls rooms #33, #41, #42, #45, and #46. The thermostat, located in the second-floor hallway, is securely enclosed in a clear plastic lockbox. However, it had been tampered with and turned off. (S1) explained that residents often attempt to adjust the thermostat in the middle of the night without access to the key, leading them to tamper with the lockbox. To resolve the issue, (S1) had to reset the circuit breaker panel located on the rooftop where the Central Air Conditioner Condenser unit for rooms #33, #41, #42, #45, and #46 is situated. According to (S1), the AC was operational for several days but failed on September 1, 2025, due to a malfunction in the compressor. (S1) noted that compressors can fail due to electrical issues, blocked coils, overheating, contamination from dirt or moisture, and imbalanced refrigerant levels. (S1) reported compressor part was immediately ordered and on September 4, 2025, the new part was installed by AC specialist and AC was in working condition. (S1) indicated that (R1) received an oscillating tower fan to cool the entire room while awaiting part replacement. On September 10, 2025, the Department conducted an inspection of the thermostats on the second floor, focusing on the thermostat unit for room #45, which is designated as (R1’s) private room. All thermostats were found to be functioning correctly. Furthermore, rooms #33, #41, #42, #45, and #46 were also inspected, and it was observed that the air conditioning units in these rooms were operational. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) The inspection covered the common areas on the first floor, which included the lobby, activity rooms, and dining area. All of these areas are equipped with functioning air conditioning units. Additionally, the Department inspected the rooftop circuit breaker panel connected to the Central Air Conditioner Condenser unit that serves rooms #33, #41, #42, #45, and #46, confirming that it was in working condition. An oscillating tower fan located in room (R1) was also found to be functioning correctly. The temperature in (R1’s) room ranged from 68°F to 74°F, which is compliant with Title 22 regulations. A review of the Air Conditioning Invoice #0383770 (dated 09/04/25) confirmed that the ordered part was replaced promptly, and the labor involved was verified. Additionally, an examination of (R1’s) Physician’s Report LIC 602A (dated 11/15/22) and the Appraisal/Needs Service Plan LIC 625 (dated 06/28/22) indicated that (R1) did not have respiratory or cardiovascular conditions that could present physical or mental conditions with improper room temperature (ref: National Institute of Health NIH). Resident #1 (R1) was unavailable for an interview during the investigation. Based on the information gathered, there is not enough evidence to support the allegation mentioned above. Based on the information collected from the facility inspection, observations, interviews, and records analysis, the Department found no evidence to support the above allegation. The allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegation is Unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Terri Han, and copies of the reports were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Sep 10, 2025 · control 11-AS-20250909112019

Unsubstantiated Allegation #1: Facility staff cannot effectively communicate with residents in care. The complaint alleges that the staff speak Korean, and the residents speak Japanese, which often results in the residents being left alone. On March 27, 2025, LPA Richard interviewed Administrator Hien Hwang (A1), who denied the allegation. A1 stated that the caregiver does speak English and assists all residents with their daily needs. Between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM on the same day, LPA Richard interviewed four Residents, 2-5 (R2-R6). Four out of the four residents denied the allegation and indicated that they had no problems communicating with the staff, even though they primarily speak Korean. Additionally, between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM, LPA Richard interviewed three staff members #1-3 (S1-S3). All three staff members denied the allegation, asserting that everyone who works there speaks English and is fully capable of assisting the residents in their care. During the visit, LPA observed the staff communicating effectively in English with both LPA and the residents without any difficulty. On March 27, 2025 LPA observed R1 sitting in the activities room with other residents, laughing. Later, at 1:30 PM on March 27, 2025, LPA Richard attempted to interview Resident #1 (R1) with the assistance of an interpreter; however, R1 was unable to communicate due to R1 experiencing cognitive impairment. Based on information gathered and interviews, LPA did not find sufficient evidence to support the allegation “Facility staff cannot effectively communicate with residents in care.” Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation #2: Facility staff do not provide a resident with activities.

Later, at 1:30 PM on March 27, 2025, LPA Richard attempted to interview Resident #1 (R1) with the assistance of an interpreter; however, R1 was unable to communicate due to R1 experiencing cognitive impairment. Based on the information gathered and interviews, LPA Richard did not find sufficient evidence to support the allegation that “facility staff do not provide residents with activities.” Therefore, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. Allegation #3: Facility staff are not helping residents with soiled diapering quickly enough. This complaint claims that residents are often left in dirty diapers for long periods without being changed. On March 27, 2025, between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM, LPA Richard interviewed four residents (R2-R6). All four residents denied the allegation and stated that they are changed every one to two hours each day. On the same day and during the same time, LPA observed R1 being cleaned, and the caregiver (S2) was checking to see if R1 needed a diaper change. LPA Richard also interviewed three staff members (S1-S3), all of whom denied the allegation and reported that residents are changed every two hours or sooner if an accident occurs before or shortly after the scheduled change. The Administrator (A1) confirmed that residents are checked every one to two hours. A review of the changing schedule from February 1, 2025, to March 30, 2025, showed a list of residents who wear diapers along with their scheduled change times. Later, at 1:30 PM on March 27, 2025, LPA Richard attempted to interview Resident #1 (R1) with the help of an interpreter; however, R1 was unable to communicate due to experiencing cognitive impairment. Based on the information gathered and interviews, LPA Richard did not find sufficient evidence to support the allegation that “facility staff are not assisting with soiled diapering in a timely manner.” Therefore, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated Allegation #4: The resident’s grooming needs are not being met. The complaint alleges that the resident’s toenails are often not trimmed. On March 27, 2025, between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Richard interviewed the Administrator, who denied the allegation. The Administrator stated that the facility has a podiatrist who visits every month to provide podiatry services to the residents. During the same period, LPA Richard interviewed four residents (R2 to R6). All four residents denied the allegation, stating that a pedicurist comes every month to assist them with their nails and toes.

Additionally, LPA interviewed three staff members (S1-S3) on March 27, 2025, between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM. They also denied the allegation and confirmed that a podiatrist visits the facility each month to service the residents' nails and toes. Records reviewed by LPA, including the facility's foot doctor schedule dated February 13, 2025, indicated that residents receive podiatric services regularly. Furthermore, LPA observed that most residents' feet were well-trimmed and clean. Later, at 1:30 PM on March 27, 2025, LPA Richard attempted to interview Resident #1 (R1) with the help of an interpreter; however, R1 was unable to communicate due to R1 experiencing cognitive impairment. Based on the information gathered and interviews, LPA Richard did not find sufficient evidence to support the allegation that the resident’s grooming needs were not being met. Therefore, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. Allegation #5: Facility staff did not maintain a comfortable temperature for residents. The complaint alleges that the resident's room is covered with wallpaper, preventing proper heat flow, which keeps the resident's room cold. On March 27, 2025, between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM, the Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) interviewed A1, who denied the allegations. A1 stated that each room is equipped with a heat control system that allows residents to adjust the temperature themselves.

The rooms were not cold, and the heaters were functioning properly, providing warm air. During a tour of Room #1 (R1), the LPA noted that the room was warm. When the heater was turned on, it also worked correctly in R1’s room. At 1:30 PM on March 27, 2025, LPA Richard attempted to interview Resident #1 (R1) with the assistance of an interpreter; however, R1 was unable to communicate due to cognitive impairment. Based on the information gathered and interviews, LPA Richard did not find sufficient evidence to support the allegation that the resident’s grooming needs were not being met.

On 07/16/25, from 9:00am-02:00pm, the department interviewed staff (S1-S5) witness (W1), and residents (R1-R5) about the allegation. 4 of 5 staff denied the allegation that Resident sustained an unexplained injury while in care. The majority of the staff stated that the resident was non-ambulatory and had a fall trying to get out of their wheelchair. S3 stated that they found R1 on the floor and asked what happened? S3 stated that R1 said they tried to get out of the chair and fell. S3 stated that they asked if R1 was in pain, and R1 said yes, so they sent R1 to the emergency room. Staff stated that the resident did not have a history of falling in the facility. The department interviewed witness (W1) and residents (R1-R5) about the allegation. Witness (W1) stated that they were concerned because R1 had a fall but did not know what happened and was concerned for their safety while living at the facility. 4 of 5 residents that were interviewed stated that they have never sustained any injuries at the facility and did not witness or experience any physical abuse from the staff.

The department did not observe any other medical records or appraisals that would suggest R1 was a fall risk. Based on interviews and records reviewed, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that Resident sustained an unexplained injury while in care. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur because of neglect, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated. No citations were issued.

On March 27, 2025, between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM, the Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) interviewed A1, who denied the allegations. A1 stated that each room is equipped with a heat control system that allows residents to adjust the temperature themselves.

The Department reviewed several documents, including the Facility Staff Roster (dated 04/14/25), Resident Roster (dated 04/14/25), Resident #1 (R1)'s service records, Facility Menu (dated 04/01/25 through 04/30/25), and other pertinent records associated with this complaint. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Unsubstantiated INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: Allegation #1: Staff accessed resident's cell phone without permission. The complaint alleged that Resident #1 (R1)’s cell phone was accessed without permission by staff. It was reported that (R1) had left the cell phone with staff while (R1) was being treated at the hospital, and staff had operated the phone and deleted applications and photos. No further information has been provided relating to this allegation. On April 23, 2025, between 10:15 AM and 12:00 PM, the Department interviewed staff members, identified as Staff #1 through Staff #5 (S1-S5). Five (5) out of the five (5) staff members claimed that this claim is false. (S1) stated that (R1) left the cell phone for safekeeping in the office while (R1) was treated at the hospital, and no one had tampered with or operated (R1)’s phone. (S1-S2) stated that although we had (R1)’s phone in safekeeping, the staff could not manage it as it required a pass code. (S1-S2) noted that the phone was returned to (R1) after the hospital visit, and the staff did not tamper with the phone. On April 23, 2025, between 10:30 AM and 01:15 PM, the Department interviewed resident members identified as Resident #2 through Resident #6. Five (5) out of the five (5) resident members have never experienced this situation and cannot corroborate this claim. On April 7, 2025, between 1:30 PM and 02:45 PM, the Department interviewed the resident member identified as Resident #1 (R1). (R1) claimed that while being treated at a hospital for several days, the office staff had kept (R1)’s phone for safekeeping and had access without permission. Personal photos and applications were deleted from the phone. The office staff had access to the phone since it had no passcode. Additional details could not be provided because it was merely speculation. The Department audited (R1)’s service file, which included a Personal Rights LIC 613C (dated 08/26/24) and Physician Report LIC 602A (dated 08/26/24), revealed that (R1) is visually impaired. (R1) did not have the required document, Resident Personal Property & Valuables LIC 621. During investigation visits on April 14, 2025, and April 23, 2025, the Department observed that mandated posters outlining Resident Rights, Personal Rights, and the California Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly Complaint Poster were displayed prominently throughout the facility. Based on the gathered information, insufficient evidence supports the stated allegation. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Allegation #2: Staff did not respect resident's rights. The complaint alleged that staff did not accord Resident #1 (R1) the resident’s rights. A recent report indicated that (R1) was compelled to engage in activities in the dining room despite expressing a lack of interest in participating. No further information has been provided relating to this allegation. On April 23, 2025, between 10:15 AM and 12:00 PM, the Department interviewed staff members, identified as Staff #1 through Staff #5 (S1-S5). Five (5) out of the five (5) staff members stated they could not support this claim. (S1-S5) noted that no residents are forced to participate in activities, whether eating meals or engaging in social activities. The staff is fully aware of the importance of personal rights, emphasizing respect for individuals and ensuring comfortable living conditions. (R1) was often granted the right to stay in the room with meals and did not want to participate with other residents during mealtime, according to (S1). On April 23, 2025, between 10:30 AM and 01:15 PM, the Department interviewed resident members identified as Resident #2 through Resident #6. Five (5) out of the five (5) resident members expressed that the facility allowed them to choose whether to eat their meals in the dining area or in their room. Participation in activities or meals is voluntary; no one is obligated to participate. On April 7, 2025, between 1:30 PM and 2:45 PM, the Department interviewed the resident identified as Resident #1 (R1). During the interview, (R1) reported that they were forced to go into the dining room against their will and were taken there by staff members. However, (R1) could not provide specific details about when the incident occurred or the staff member's name. The Department reviewed staff training records and verified that staff had completed Workplace Sensitivity Training Courses, including ADLs, Resident Behaviors, and Resident Rights. During investigation visits on April 14, 2025, and April 23, 2025, the Department observed that mandated posters outlining Resident Rights, Personal Rights, and the California Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly Complaint Poster were displayed prominently throughout the facility. Based on the gathered information, insufficient evidence corroborates the allegation. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Allegation #3: Staff served cold food to a resident in care. It is alleged that the staff served cold food to Resident #1 (R1). Observations suggest that (R1) was repeatedly served food at an unsatisfactory temperature. No further information has been provided relating to this allegation. On April 23, 2025, between 10:15 AM and 12:00 PM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #5 (S1-S5). Five (5) out of the five (5) staff members reported that they could not validate the claim regarding food temperature. According to Staff #5 (S5), no residents are served food at an unsatisfactory temperature. (S5) explained that the kitchen has a food thermometer used during cooking to ensure food is maintained at safe holding temperatures. Specifically, hot foods should be held above 135 degrees Fahrenheit. (S5) also noted that residents often socialize before eating, which can cause the food to lose heat and become less hot when ready to eat. Additionally, (S5) indicated that residents are encouraged to express dissatisfaction with their food's temperature, and staff will either prepare a new serving or reheat the meal upon request. On April 23, 2025, between 10:30 AM and 01:15 PM, the Department interviewed resident members identified as Resident #2 through Resident #6 (R2-R6). Five (5) of the five (5) resident members claimed to have no issues or concerns with the meals. All of them expressed that their meals had been served at the proper temperature. On April 7, 2025, between 1:30 PM and 2:45 PM, the Department interviewed a resident member identified as Resident #1 (R1). During the interview, (R1) expressed that there have been occasions when the meals served were not at the proper temperature and were served cold. It appears that (R1) could not provide further insights on this matter. A review of the facility's Monthly Menu for April 2025 (from April 1 to April 30) included a comprehensive list of all breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals and alternative options. Additionally, an evaluation of staff training for the kitchen showed that personnel completed courses on Food Safety, Kitchen Safety, Appearance Guidelines, Customer Expectations, and Special Diet Considerations. Furthermore, a review of (R1) 's Physician's Report LIC 602A (dated 08/26/24) revealed that (R1) is capable of self-feeding and is not on any special diet. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) During investigation visits on April 14, 2025, and April 23, 2025, the Department observed that residents were served lunch soup, pasta, vegetables, salad, and fruit in trays and taken to eat at the table. An observation of trays being served from the kitchen to the table was made in several minutes. An observation of some residents immediately ate the food while others spent leisure time socializing along with their meals. The Department surveyed six residents, and all reported that the food was of good quality and at an adequate temperature. Based on the gathered information, insufficient evidence corroborates the allegation. Allegation #4: Staff opened resident mail. The details of this complaint alleged that staff opened Resident #1 (R1)’s mail. According to the report, staff opened (R1)’s mail without permission. No further information has been provided relating to this allegation. On April 23, 2025, between 10:15 AM and 12:00 PM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #5 (S1-S5). Five (5) out of the five (5) the staff members denied this accusation. (S1-S2) claimed that this accusation is false and that the office staff oversees incoming mail delivery and distribution to residents. (S1-S2) expressed a firm belief that there is no justification for opening residents' mail. They know that such actions violate residents' rights and constitute a federal offense, given that tampering with mail intended for someone else is against the law. On April 23, 2025, between 10:30 AM and 01:15 PM, the Department interviewed resident members identified as Resident #2 through Resident #6 (R2-R6). Five (5) of the five (5) resident members have never encountered any issues with mail tampering while living at this facility. Residents have reported that the office staff is responsible for distributing their mail and confirmed that it remains unopened upon receipt. On April 7, 2025, between 1:30 PM and 2:45 PM, the Department interviewed a resident member identified as Resident #1 (R1). (R1) mentioned that staff opened their mail, but the Department lacked evidence to confirm the exact date or details surrounding this occurrence. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) The Department audited the service file of (R1), which included a Personal Rights LIC 613C (dated 08/26/24). Staff training records for staff members had completed Workplace Sensitivity Training Courses that covered Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), Resident Behaviors, and Resident Rights. During investigation visits on April 14, 2025, and April 23, 2025, the Department noted that mandated posters outlining Resident Rights, Personal Rights, and the California Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly Complaint Poster were displayed prominently throughout the facility. Based on the information collected, insufficient evidence supports the stated allegation. Based on the information collected from the facility inspection, observations, interviews, and records analysis, the Department found no evidence to support the above allegation. While the allegation may be valid or have occurred, there is insufficient evidence to establish whether the alleged violation took place or did not. Therefore, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with the Licensed Vocational Nurse, Hee Kyung Park, and copies of the reports were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, May 10, 2025 · control 11-AS-20250407115705

The complaint details alleged that the facility staff were not allowing Resident #1 (R1) to leave the facility. It was reported that it is customary for (R1) to participate in social activities outside the facility, but on March 6, 2025, (R1) was not permitted to leave. On March 13, 2025, between 9:15 AM and 10:00 AM, the Department interviewed staff members, identified as Staff #1 and Staff #2 (S1-S2). Two (2) out of the (2) two staff members denied the claim.

(S1) asked the visitor questions, but the individual refused to provide identification and did not want to sign the visitor log or follow the facility's proper guidelines. (S1-S2) reported that visitation with residents is encouraged at any time, but visitors are expected to respect the other residents, staff, and guests on the facility's premises. (S1) described the visitor as uncooperative, so authorization for the visitor to leave the facility with (R1) was denied.

(Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) In addition, a review of (R1's) Identification and Emergency Information LIC 601 (dated March 22, 2020) showed that (R1) did not have an authorized guardian, conservator, or power of attorney assigned. After reviewing the facility's visitor log from January 1, 2025, to March 2025, it was confirmed that (R1) 's guest did not sign in during the visit on March 6, 2025, supporting (S1) 's statement. Resident #1 (R1) was interviewed on March 13, 2025, with the help of an interpreter. However, (R1) was unable to participate in the interview due to (R1)'s health condition. Based on the gathered information, insufficient evidence supports the stated allegation. Based on the information collected from the facility inspection, observations, interviews, and records analysis, the Department found no evidence to support the above allegation. While the allegation may be valid or have occurred, there is insufficient evidence to establish whether the alleged violation took place or did not.

Despite facility staff's claims that (R1) is receiving routine medical care services, no current medical assessments or records of medical or dental care are included in (R1)’s service file. The Department attempted to verify (R1)’s medical care by contacting (R1)'s current primary physician, but calls were not returned.

Life here
Rooms, meals, the rhythm of a day, faith and language, pets and house rules — as the home describes them. Tap any detail for its source and date; nothing here is graded.
The home has not described daily life anywhere we have reviewed yet — that is the case for most small homes, and it says nothing about the home. These questions fill in the picture; keep the ones that matter to you.
Before you call
Ask every home the same questions — the state’s record does not answer these. Keep the ones that matter and they travel with your saved homes.
- What is included in the monthly rate, and what costs extra?
- Who is awake overnight, and how do residents ask for help?
- Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
- What could change whether someone can stay here?
- Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
