Licensing Program Analysts, (LPAs) Lavinia Muscan and Talwinder Bains arrived on August 12, 2026, for an unannounced inspection, to follow up on substantiated allegations of neglect that resulted from a complaint investigation. On April 8, 2025, the Department concluded a complaint investigation regarding the following allegations: Staff did not provide adequate supervision, resulting in a resident sustaining a fracture while in care, and Staff did not prevent resident from suffering multiple falls while in care. The licensee was cited for California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22, §87463-Reappraisals, and (CCR) Title 22 §87468.2- Additional Personal Rights of Residents in Privately Operated Facilities. At the time of the complaint visit on April 8, 2025, an immediate civil penalty of $500 was issued. The licensee was informed that an additional civil penalty was under review and may be assessed at a future date according to Health and Safety Code §1569.49(f). Continued on page 2 ... Page 2 ... The Department has concluded an analysis and has determined that a civil penalty is warranted for serious bodily injury. The Welfare and Institutions Code §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 by the facility not providing adequate supervision resulting in a resident (R1) sustaining a broken collar bone that required hospitalization and stitches. 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 constitutes as serious bodily injury in the amount of $10,000. However, since an immediate civil penalty of $500 was previously issued on April 8, 2025, the amount of the civil penalty issued today will be $9,500. Exit interview conducted.

During the investigation, the Department conducted interviews and reviewed documentation pertinent to the investigation. The results of the investigation are as follows: **Report continued on 9099-C** Substantiated Staff did not provide adequate supervision resulting in resident sustaining a fracture while in care. Staff did not prevent resident from suffering multiple falls while in care. On July 16, 2024, R1 sustained a fall in the facility. Hospital medical records stated that on July 16, 2024, R1 sustained a broken left collarbone. Hospital Doctor confirmed that R1’s CT scan of spine showed a “comminuted left clavicular head fracture.” Doctor stated that the injury was an acute injury and was consistent with someone sustaining a fall. R1 reported they were in their room walking with their walker alone when R1 sustained a fall. R1 remembers bleeding “a lot” from their head.

A review of R1’s file indicated the facility conducted (2) two Reassessments on R1. Initial assessment at time of move in dated March 1, 2023, and June 20, 2024 due to a change in condition.

The facility did not have a clear plan in place to keep R1 from continuing to sustain these falls. Previous Administrator Lydia Gravelyn and another staff stated they believed R1 required a higher level of care than the facility could provide. R1 would constantly refuse care and assistance from facility staff, yet the facility allowed R1 to continue constantly falling while at the facility. The medical records obtained support that R1 sustained multiple falls resulting in head injuries and a clavicle fracture. Each fall was a result of R1 attempting to do things on their own rather than requesting assistance from facility staff. Facility file review records document R1 sustained 15 falls between 3/9/2023 and 7/16/2024. Facility failed to develop a personalized intervention plan as indicated in R1's needs and service plan resulting in R1 sustaining many falls at the facility including the fall R1 sustained on July 16, 2024, which caused R1 a serious injury.
