Interview with Staff #1 (S1) confirmed the oversight and revealed that there had also been a miscommunication regarding R1’s primary care physician (PCP). R1’s PCP had changed, and the facility was not notified.

LPA Urena met with the Executive Director (ED) Lilit Mnatsakanyan and explained the reason for the visit.

The LPA arrived at 9:48AM and met with Executive Director (ED) Lilit Mnatsakanyan. The LPA met with Executive Director (ED) Lilit Mnatsakanyan. On 07/08/2026, the ED provided the LPA with pertinent documents, however requested an extension for the remainder of the documents. The ED agreed to provide the LPA with the remainder of the requested documents which include the resident’s care plans conducted while residing at the facility, medication records, and any supporting documentation pertaining to their eviction notice. The documents will be provided to the LPA via email no later than close of business today, 07/09/2026. Continued on LIC 9099C... Substantiated Unlawful eviction. It was alleged that facility issued an unlawful eviction notice to Resident #1 (R1); the concern of the Reporting Party (RP) is that the facility is trying to evict R1 as part of retaliatory measures for the facility being reported to the regulatory agency (Community Care Licensing Department). LPA Huynh conducted an initial visit and requested documents pertinent to the investigation. LPA Urena conducted record review of the copy of the Admission Agreement and House Rules and the eviction notice given to R1. Furthermore, LPA Urena asked the ED and the RP pertinent questions via email. LPA Urena reviewed the Eviction Notice, which states in the opening paragraph: “Over the past weeks we have had numerous discussions... a summary of the incidents that have been observed and documented”. Per the ED, the incidents were discussed in person with R1, however the ED did not provide written documentation to the LPAs about the discussions that took place with R1, other than the Eviction Notice. Furthermore, after LPA Urena reviewed the Admission Agreement (page #14, paragraph #20.) which discusses the Meet and Conference/Mediation process states the following: MEET AND CONFER/MEDIATION: You(resident) and Ivy Park agree that in the event of any dispute arising out of or related to this Residence and Services Agreement including but not limited to contract disputes or personal injury claims, the parties, before taking any legal action, will first meet and confer informally in good faith to try to resolve any such dispute. In the event that the parties are unable to resolve their dispute(s) through such informal meeting, the parties agree that they then will submit the dispute to formal non-binding mediation to be conducted by a qualified, neutral mediator agreed to by the parties. The fees and expenses relating to such mediation shall be borne equally by You and Ivy Park, except that each party shall pay its own attorneys' fees and expenses. LPA Urena asked the ED via email if this mediation process was offered to R1, and the ED, replied, “Yes, a meeting between the Ivy’s (ED and VPO) and R1’s family member, on behalf of R1, was conducted via phone on 7/10/2026. This was informal and without any legal presence.” The LPA record’s review identified R1 as being responsible for themselves. Furthermore, when LPA Urena interviewed the RP via email about R1 being offered a mediation meeting, the RP reported that the mediation meeting was not offered to R1. Based on the information obtained through record review and interviews, the facility staff did not follow their own Admission Agreement rules, consequently the facility did not give R1 to opportunity to resolve the disputes described in the Eviction Notice served to R1 on July 1, 2026 through the mediadtion process. Therefore, the allegation of Unlawful Eviction is deemed Substantiated at this time. Pursuant to CCR, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, the following deficiencies are cited (Refer to LIC 9099-D).

Allegation investigated: Staff not preventing construction from disturbing residents sleep.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sandra Urena conducted a subsequent unannounced visit to deliver the findings for the allegation listed above. The LPA met with Litit Mnatsakanyan, Executive Director (ED) and explained the reason for the visit. On 06/30/2026, LPA Urena conducted an initial unannounced visit to investigate the allegation listed above. LPA Urena interviewed staff and residents and requested records pertinent to the investigation. Staff not preventing construction from disturbing residents’ sleep. On the allegation that staff are not preventing construction from disturbing residents’ sleep; it is the concern of the Reporting Party (RP) that there has been a lot of construction work being done between the hours of 7:00 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. The RP reported that there is painting, hammering and floors being redone. To investigate the allegation, LPA Urena conducted a tour of the physical plant of the facility along with the ED, and interviewed the residents in care, staff, and the ED. During the tour of physical plant areas inside, specifically on the second floor of the facility, the LPA observed that the common space where residents have art activities, was pending remodeling/renovation work done. Substantiated The room had an odor of fresh paint, and some of the walls were unfinished. A second room, which appeared to be an empty office room, was also being remodeled/renovated (floor carpet was to be removed, walls painted and wood flooring installed). This Office Room and the Wellness room (medication room) share a wall with a residents’ bedroom. The Wellness Room remodeling was completed at the time of the visit, which included removing carpeting, shelf, painting and installing wood floor. Interviews with residents revealed that loud banging was heard in the early hours of the evening, starting at around 7:00 p.m. and the noise would be heard throughout the early hours of the next day till 3:30 a.m. disturbing their sleep, and keeping them awake till the work was completed for the night. Per the resident, a crew of about eight (8) to 10 workers worked on the remodeling project every night. Another resident’s responsible party (RP) was present when some of the banging could be heard in the early evening. The resident’s RP asked a staff member, “what was with all the noise”, and the staff replied, “there is nothing we can do about it”. The LPA interviewed a staff member who reported that the remodeling project of the Wellness room was completed, and explained that the carpet was pulled, new flooring was installed and walls painted. Interview with the ED revealed that the remodeling project was announced to the residents through the “Lilit’s June Newsletter”. LPA Urena reviewed the June’s Newsletter and found the following sentence: “Please note that some renovation work will be conducted between the hours of 7:00pm-3:30am or during regular business hours. Furthermore, the ED stated that the renovation project included the removal of the floor carpets, painting and installing new wood flooring. Per the ED, the renovation crew of at least eight (8) workers worked quietly without making excessive noise. The LPA reviewed the Ivy Park at Woodland Hills House Rules (page #1, first paragraph) which include the following statement: “We request that all residents monitor the volume of their televisions and radios, specifically in the evening and the early morning hours”. It appears that the facility violated their own House Rules policy by engaging in renovation projects that were done during the evening and early morning hours. Although the facility’s staff informed the residents of the upcoming renovation project via a newsletter, the facility not only violated their own House Rules, but most importantly the residents’ rights, by depriving them of a quite environment during the hours (7:00 p.m. to 3:30 a.m.) and length (at least seven (7) days) of the renovation project. Therefore, the allegation that staff did not prevent construction from disturbing residents’ sleep, is deemed Substantiated at this time. Pursuant to Title 22, California Code of Regulations, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC809-D). Citations were issued. Exit interview conducted.

The current ED Lilit Mnatsakanyam, explained that according to corporate, residents who lived in the community prior to the ownership change from “Sunrise Senior Living of Woodland Hills” (Sunrise) to Ivy Park at Woodland Hills (Ivy Park) were communicated verbally during a meeting held with residents of the option to either keep their original Sunrise agreement with existing perks and discounts or sign a new agreement under Ivy Park. The Reporting Party (RP), who pays a monthly rent and a $42 care fee under a Sunrise agreement, did not recall being offered a new contract and admitted not inquiring about the differences. The RP expressed concern that new residents are paying significantly lower rent than those who moved in under previous ownership. In December 2024, the RP requested to be moved to a vacant, recently refurbished apartment of the same size, and to pay the same monthly rent as new residents moving into the community. According to the RP, this request was submitted verbally to community management. The RP stated that initially, there was no response, but after several weeks, they were approved to move into the refurbished unit, However, the monthly rent amount was not going to be reassessed or reduced. RP declined this offer and reported that later, they requested to remain in their current apartment and have their rent lowered instead, but the former ED indicated that they were never presented with this request. When asked, the RP acknowledged that they eventually stopped inquiring about the matter. Continued on LIC 9099-C Continued from LIC 9099-C Neither Ivy Park management nor the RP were able to provide written documentation to confirm that these conversations took place or that a formal request was submitted. LPA reviewed RP’s Sunrise admission agreement with revision date of 05/2015. LPA was unable to identify any clause specifying the process or terms applicable when a resident wishes to substitute their apartment. Regarding flooding incidents, the RP stated that maintenance staff responded by drying the carpet using a commercial vacuum cleaner. The RP also confirmed that there was no water damage present in their unit. LPA visited multiple random units including the RP’s apartment, no visible stains on the carpet, mold on the walls, or any sign of water damage inside the unit were observed. Based on the information obtained during the investigation, the Department does not have sufficient evidence to corroborate the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the above allegation. “Staff does not ensure residents are accorded reasonable accommodations” is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. It was reported that "Staff are not properly addressing room repairs for residents in care”. According to the allegation, a resident left the water running, which resulted in flooding into other units and the saturation of carpets in neighboring rooms. It was further alleged that staff responded by only drying the affected carpets without taking further action. Interviews with the former ED revealed that in December 2024, there were two separate incidents involving flooding. One involved a resident who left water running for an extended period, resulting in overflow and water dripping into units below. The second incident was related to a plumbing issue, in which a resident had flushed excessive amounts of toilet paper, leading to a clogged pipeline. In both cases, maintenance staff were immediately dispatched to the affected areas. The maintenance team cleaned the flooded units and used a plumbing snake from the parking lot to the affected unit’s pipelines to address the clog. A review of Ivy Park’s maintenance work orders showed that both residents and staff submitted requests related to carpet cleaning and clogged plumbing. These work orders were completed in a timely manner by maintenance staff. Additionally, the former ED stated that carpets are cleaned as needed and shampooed on a regular schedule. Residents interviewed stated that when they submit work order requests, the issues are generally addressed promptly. While not every problem is resolved on the first attempt, maintenance staff are reported to follow up and ensure completion. Continued on LIC 9099-C Continued from LI 9099-C Residents also noted that for minor repairs, such as replacing light bulbs, changing broken accessories or fixing broken screens, a formal work order is not always necessary, as these concerns are often resolved on the spot by available staff. With regards to carpet cleaning, residents reported that when requested, carpets are cleaned and shampooed using the community’s own carpet cleaning equipment, and that these requests are generally fulfilled without issue. Based on the information obtained during the investigation, the Department does not have sufficient evidence to corroborate the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the above allegation. “Staff are not properly addressing room repairs for residents in care” is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview was conducted. No citations issued. A copy of the report was issued.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 4, 2025 · control 29-AS-20241217100027
