Allegation investigated: Staff are not responding to residents call buttons in a timely manner Staff did not ensure resident was dressed for appointments

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Lyman conducted an unannounced complaint visit to initiate an investigation into the above allegations. LPA was greeted and granted entry into the facility and explained the reason for the visit. During the investigation, LPA toured the facility and interviewed staff, witness and resident as well as reviewed and obtained pertinent documentation such as physician report. Regarding the allegations that staff are not responding to residents call buttons in a timely manner and staff did not ensure resident was dressed for appointments, the investigation revealed the following: Per review of call button response records, there are three instances of response times over 27 minutes between 06/26-07/05/2026 for Resident 1 (R1). Facility is unable to print out the records prior to 06/26/2026. Email thread between R1's family and facility acknowledge a response time of approximately two hours on 06/26/2026. LPA pushed the emergency button in the first floor common restroom at 11:33 AM and waited until 11:50 AM and received no staff response even as LPA observed staff walking by and lingering near the restroom. R1 indicated through interview that staff responses to call button can take one to two hours depending on the day. CONTINUED ON LIC 9099C DATED 07/07/2026. Substantiated LPA tested R1's call button two times during the visit and staff responded one time. Per physician report dated 07/03/2025, R1 has no cognitive decline and can manage own medications. R1 indicates two recent times in June when the resident had an appointment in the morning and was not assisted with getting ready timely for the appointment. Email correspondence and interviews conducted confirm the resident was not ready for the appointments on 06/22/2026 and 06/25/2026 thus family had to assist in getting the resident ready to leave for the appointment. R1's care plan dated 07/01/2026 shows resident requires "Hands on assistance with dressing." Email correspondence between family and facility show facility was notified of the appointment times in advance. Based on record review and interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore the allegations are deemed substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8), are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the report provided as well as appeal rights.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 7, 2026 · control 22-AS-20260630144919

Allegation investigated: Facility did not respond to a resident's call light in a timely manner Facility did not call medical services in a timely manner

An unannounced Complaint Investigation was conducted on this day by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Claudia Gutierrez for the purpose of delivering findings. LPA met with Executive Director (ED) Dennis Robeniol and explained the purpose of the inspection. Regarding allegations, Facility did not respond to a resident's call light in a timely manner and Facility did not call medical services in a timely manner, the following was revealed: It is alleged facility staff did not respond to Resident 1’s (R1’s) call light in a timely manner or call medical services for R1 in a timely manner. During the course of the investigation, LPA obtained a copy of Charting Notes for R1 signed by Staff 1 (S1) which indicated that on October 16, 2025 at 4:00 a.m., R1 had an unwitnessed fall while walking to the restroom and hit their head. Per Charting Notes, R1 pressed their bathroom alarm but cleared themselves while they kept pressing on it. Charting Notes do not specify the time lapse between R1’s fall and staff response time. Charting Notes for R1 signed by Staff 2 (S2) also indicated that on October 19, 2025, R1 had another fall at approximately 5:45 p.m. (Cont. LIC9099-C) Unsubstantiated R1 was using their walker to walk over to the dining room for dinner with their daughter when they fell back and hit their head. Charting Notes do not indicate if R1’s pendant was pressed at that time or how staff was alerted of R1’s fall. Interviews were conducted with one witness, two staff, and six residents. During their interview, R1’s daughter, Witness 1 (W1) stated that on October 16, 2025 at 4:00 a.m., R1 called them crying and stated they had pressed the call button in their bathroom due to having fallen and had waited for staff to arrive. Per W1, R1 informed them they got back in bed because no one came and had fallen asleep. W1 stated R1 woke up again because their head was hurting. Per W1, they told R1 to call 911 and stated it was R1 who had called 911 “as far as” they knew. W1 stated they then called the front desk to inform them of R1’s fall and questioned why staff had not gone to check on R1. W1 stated staff apologized and stated they thought it was a “false alarm” because R1 had never pressed their call button before. W1, however, was unable to identify staff alleged to have stated they thought it was a “false alarm.” Per W1, on October 19, 2025, they had been present at the time of R1’s fall and had pressed R1’s pendant, but no one came, so they pressed it again and no one came until they called the front desk and were subsequently informed staff were tending to another resident emergency, and paramedics were already on-site. R1 is no longer a resident at the facility. Three separate attempts were made to reach R1 by phone, however, R1 could not be reached to confirm or deny allegation. During their interview, S1 stated that on October 16, 2025 at approximately 4:00 a.m., they received a call from W1 notifying them that R1 had an unwitnessed fall in their bedroom and had been pressing their call button. S1 stated they did not know how long it had been since R1’s fall or how many times R1 had pressed their call button. Per S1, if a resident keeps pressing their pendant and staff go to clear another resident’s call, the call system will inevitably clear their call as well. S1 stated that upon responding to R1’s room they found R1 sitting on the edge of their bed. Per S1, R1 informed them they had gotten up to go use the restroom and had fallen and hit their head on the television stand and that is when paramedics were called. S1 stated they could not recall ever personally telling W1 they had not checked on R1 due to R1 never pressing their pendent nor did they recall any other staff making that statement. S1 stated they had called the paramedics as soon as R1 informed them that they had hit their head and paramedics arrived between “five to six minutes” later. During their interview, S2 stated on October 19, 2025, R1 was walking with their walker with the assistance of W1, when they fell back and hit their head. Per S2, W1 reported pressing R1’s pendant, however, S2 was tending to another resident emergency at the time and stated they were unsure how long it had taken for them to respond but estimated "it could have been ten to fifteen minutes." (Cont. LIC9099-C) Per S2, once they were informed R1 had hit their head, paramedics on-site were called to assess R1 and transported them to the hospital. During interview, Resident 2 (R2) and Resident 3 (R3) stated that in the event they need assistance they are able to alert staff using their pendant, and staff respond within minutes. Per R2 and R3, emergency services have been called for them personally on at least one occasion and stated they were contacted immediately and an ambulance arrived without delay. During their interview, Resident 4 (R4) stated their pendant has been tested by staff and they were informed it tested operational; however, they believe it often malfunctions and therefore, they use their personal cell phone to call for assistance and staff "come right away." R4 denied having any knowledge of any delays in staff seeking medical care for residents. During their interview, Resident 5 (R5) and Resident 6 (R6) stated they have not personally required emergency services be called. Per R5, they do not need staff assistance and in the event they accidentally press the pendant around their neck, staff "come right away" and if they are not in their room, staff will find them walking around the facility and ask if they need assistance. Per R6, in the event they need assistance, they call the front desk using their personal cell phone or use the pendant around their neck and staff arrive immediately. Based on record review of R1's Charting Notes and due to allegation being uncorroborated during interviews conducted, the Department is unable to determine if Facility did not respond to a resident's call light in a timely manner or if Facility did not call medical services in a timely manner. Although the above allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore at this time the above allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted and copy of this report was provided at the end of the inspection.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jun 4, 2026 · control 22-AS-20260114075555

Based on the review of R1's care notes, there were written documentation providing brief changes on May 12, 13, 30, 31, 2024, and during the nocturnal shifts. R1 also refused to use the toilet and requested brief changes in bed on May 30, 2024. Based on an interview with a witness, R1 alleged "waiting for hours" when staff was called for assistance. Care notes reveal that R1 was checked on "multiple times throughout shifts" even though R1 "voiced complaints of staff not checking in overnight." Based on the interviews with eight residents who resided at the facility in 2024, none of the residents are incontinent. Three of eight residents required assistance with toileting which also aligned with their care plans at the time; however two of three residents that required toileting, confirmed toileting assistance was provided as needed per their requests. LPA was unable to qualify the statement of the third resident due to their medical condition, and two of three staff denied the allegation while the third indicated not providing care to R1 at the time. Regarding the allegation, Facility staff did not assist resident with showering as needed, it is alleged that R1 received sporadic showers. Based on the review of R1's service plan, complete assistance with showering/bathing was provided four times a week for R1. There were no documentation regarding showers per the care notes. However, based on the interviews with eight residents who resided at the facility in 2024, seven confirmed showers were provided timely which aligned with their individual plans. LPA was unable to qualify one resident due to their medical condition. Two of three staff denied the allegation while the third staff indicated not providing care to R1 at the time. Regarding the allegation, Facility staff handled the resident in a rough manner, it is alleged that the handling of R1 was "roughed up." Based on the interviews, seven of eight residents who resided at the facility in 2024 denied experiencing aggressive handling also denied by two of three staff who were employed at the time. However, one resident confirmed one caregiver was rough in the way they assisted them during transfers. The remaining one staff did not provide care to R1 at the time. Based on interviews and record review, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore, all allegations are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted with Health Services Director Angela Boyd, and a copy of this report was provided at the end of the visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, May 28, 2026 · control 22-AS-20240625085618

Allegation investigated: Resident sustained multiple falls while in care due to staff neglect

An unannounced Complaint Investigation was conducted on this day by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Claudia Gutierrez for the purpose of delivering findings. LPA met with Executive Director (ED) Dennis Robeniol and explained the purpose of the inspection. Complaint alleges Resident 1 (R1) sustained multiple falls while in care due to staff neglect. During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted with R1, one witness, and two staff. During their interview, R1’s responsible party, Witness 1 (W1), was unable to confirm or deny if R1 had sustained multiple falls due to staff neglect. Per W1, R1 may have sustained a fall in May 2024 and October 2024, however, stated they could not recall any of the details regarding the falls. W1 stated that per R1's Care Plan, staff should be conducting routine checks, which consist of staff checking on R1 on a regular basis and reporting back to W1 in the event of a fall. (Cont. LIC9099-C) Unsubstantiated Per W1, when they are personally present at the facility, staff routinely check on R1, however, stated they did not know if staff routinely check on R1 when they are not present at the facility. During their interview, R1 denied ever sustaining a fall and stated if they did, “it was a long time ago” and could not remember. LPA obtained a copy of Incident Report (LIC624) which indicated that on May 11, 2024, R1 had an unwitnessed fall in their bedroom and had been found as a dining room tray was being delivered to their room. LIC624 identifies S1 as the person who observed the incident, however, S1 is no longer employed at the facility. Three separate attempts were made to reach S1 by phone, however, S1 could not be reached to confirm or deny the allegation. LPA obtained a copy of a separate LIC624, which indicated that on October 8, 2024, R1 had an unwitnessed fall in their bedroom and had been found on the floor by Staff 2 (S2) as they were conducting routine checks. During their interview, S2 stated they could not recall specific details regarding the incident, however, stated routine checks are conducted for R1 during shifts and R1 is also escorted to meals and activities by staff, which enables staff to conduct additional checks on R1. LPA obtained a copy of Individualized Service Plan (ISP) for R1, which indicates R1 is at moderate risk for falling, and is to be provided with a status check each shift and escorted to meals and activities. Per ISP, fall management protocol consists of ensuring R1 is using assistive mobility devices at all times, reminding and encouraging R1 to use pendant to call for staff assistance, and staff continuing with frequent check-ins. During their interview, Staff 3 (S3) stated they did not have any knowledge regarding R1’s fall on May 11, 2024 or October 8, 2024, however, stated that due to R1’s moderate risk for falling, staff are to conduct status checks. Per S3, status checks are conducted every two to three hours and consist of staff physically observing the resident to ensure they have not fallen. During the course of the investigation, LPA observed R1 being checked on by care staff on at least two occasions. Based on record review of R1’s Individualized Service Plan and LIC624, and due to allegation being uncorroborated during interviews conducted, the Department is unable to determine if Resident sustained multiple falls while in care due to staff neglect. Although the above allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore at this time the above allegation is unsubstantiated.

Allegation investigated: Facility staff did not provide adequate supervision resulting in resident being injured.

An unannounced Complaint Investigation was conducted on this day by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Claudia Gutierrez for the purpose of delivering findings. LPA met with Executive Director (ED) Dennis Robeniol and explained the purpose of the inspection. Complaint alleges Staff did not check on Resident 1 (R1) for approximately two hours, resulting in R1 sustaining a fall and being injured. During the course of the investigation, LPA obtained a copy of Resident Care Notes for R1 signed by Staff 1 (S1) which indicated that on June 27, 2024, R1 had been found on the floor by their bed with lacerations by their right eye and skin tear to right wrist, 911 was called, and R1 was transported to the hospital. The Care Notes, however, do not specify if there was a lapse in time between R1’s fall and R1 being found, and do not indicate the time R1 was last checked on by staff prior to being found on the floor. R1 could not be interviewed due to their passing on July 10, 2024. (Cont. LIC9099-C) Unsubstantiated S1 is no longer employed at the facility and three separate attempts were made to reach S1 by phone, however, S1 could not be reached to confirm or deny the allegation.

During their interview, R1’s responsible party, Witness 1 (W1), attributed R1's fall to their medical diagnosis and stated they were unsure if R1 had sustained a laceration or skin tear as a result of the fall. W1 stated they believed there could have been a lapse of about "15 minutes" between R1’s fall and R1 being found on floor, however, stated they did not believe it was two hours. Per W1, they had no concerns regarding the care provided to R1 by the facility.

Regarding the allegation, Staff did not follow physician's order to monitor resident's blood pressure, the following was revealed: It is alleged that Staff did not follow physician's order to monitor Resident 1’s (R1’s) blood pressure. An interview was conducted with R1’s responsible party, Witness 1 (W1), who stated that the facility had informed them they could not accept a verbal request to monitor R1’s blood pressure. Per W1, on January 13, 2026, they provided a printout of the physician’s order, which also had a medical stamp with R1’s care provider information, however, the facility would still not accept it and stated physician’s hand signature was required. Per W1, they were then provided with the incorrect fax number for the facility and by January 19, 2026, one full week of the prescribed monitoring period had passed with no blood pressure readings taken. (Cont. LIC9099-C) Substantiated During the course of the investigation, LPA obtained a copy of R1’s physician order dated January 12, 2026, which states, “continue with blood pressure monitoring for the next two weeks.” LPA also obtained a copy of R1’s vital signs readings from January 12, 2026 to January 20, 2026 and observed R1’s blood pressure was only taken on two days, January 19, 2026 and January 20, 2026. During their interview, R1 corroborated the allegation and stated their blood pressure had not been taken during that time frame. Regarding the allegation, Staff falsified resident records, the following was revealed: It was alleged staff falsely documented R1’s blood pressure readings. During their interview, W1 stated R1’s doctor requested their blood pressure be taken daily for one week due to critically low readings. Per W1, R1’s blood pressure was only taken once between December 27, 2025 and December 31, 2025, however, the report they received on January 2nd, 2026 contained five readings, of which four were falsely presented as if they had been measured. LPA obtained a copy of blood pressure readings in question and observed Staff 3 (S3) had taken R1’s blood pressure on December 27, 2025, December 28, 2025, and December 29, 2025 and Staff 1 (S1) had taken R1’s blood pressure on December 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025. During their interview, S1 corroborated the allegation and stated the blood pressure readings had been falsified, but they were unsure of who had entered them. S1 denied taking R1’s blood pressure during that time frame due to having been on vacation at the time. During their interview, S3 corroborated the allegation and stated the blood pressure readings had been falsified, but they were unsure of who had entered them. Per S3, they did take R1’s blood pressure on December 27, 2025, however, denied having taken R1’s blood pressure on December 28, 2025 or December 29, 2025 as that was their day off. During their interview, R1 also corroborated the allegation and stated their blood pressure had only taken once by S3 on December 27, 2025. Based on R1’s record review and Staffs’ and R1’s interview, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegations are found to be substantiated. Deficiencies are being cited per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of regulations (see LIC9099-D). An exit interview was conducted. A copy of this report, and appeal rights were left at the facility. LPA obtained email records between W1 and the former Executive Director, Staff 2 (S2) and on an email dated February 2, 2026, S2 states they asked S1 if they had offered the pill cutter to R1, which S1 admitted, however, there is no indication the medication in question was in fact cut or managed by S1. During their interview, W1 stated that S1 had entered R1’s room with a doctor’s letter indicating R1’s blood pressure medication dose had been decreased and asked R1 to cut their blood pressure medication in half. Per W1, they received a call at the time of the incident and were able to intervene and prevent staff from managing or cutting R1’s medication as R1 already had the decreased dose of the medication and there was no need to cut it half. The Department has investigated the complaint alleging Staff mismanaged resident's medication. After a review of R1’s records and interviews conducted with staff and witnesses, We have found that the complaint was unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. An exit interview was conducted. A copy of this report, and appeal rights were left at the facility.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Apr 22, 2026 · control 22-AS-20260114213328

One out of five residents was unable to confirm or deny allegation.

Allegation investigated: Staff did not safeguard resident's personal property. Resident sustained bruising while in care.

On this day, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Saborit-Guasch made an unannounced visit to the facility for the purpose of delivering findings into the investigation of the two allegations listed above. LPA was greeted and granted entry by front desk staff after introducing himself and stating the purpose of the visit. Executive Director Anna Pastores was notified and present during the visit. The initial complaint investigation was conducted on November 6, 2023. Records for resident R1, including the admission agreement and a waiver to inventory personal property upon admission were reviewed. LPA verified the required posting of the facility's theft and loss policy and reviewed the theft and loss log maintained by facility staff at the front desk. Documentation of staff training on theft and loss was also provided. One staff interview, one witness interview and one resident interview were also conducted during the visit. CONTINUED ON LIC9099-C Unsubstantiated CONTINUED FROM LIC9099 Regarding the allegation that Staff did not provide resident's responsible party with complete paperwork at resident's admission to the facility, the following has been concluded: Based on a review of R1's records maintained at the facility and provided during the initial investigation visit, the resident and their authorized representative were provided with the following elements required by Title 22 regulations: R1's Pre-admission appraisal, Identification and Emergency contact form, signed and dated Admission agreement and all its required components including the facility's theft and loss policy. The Safeguard for Cash and Valuables form is also observed to be included in the records and is observed to be blank. Both the resident and their authorized representative declined to place any specific belongings into facility safeguarding. The resident's Individual Service Plan and updated physician report are also present. Based on the records reviewed and their corresponding dates and signatures, LPA was able to corroborate that facility staff has provided the resident and their authorized representative with all necessary items of documentation upon the resident's admission on or around August 21, 2022. As a result, the allegation is determined to be Unfounded, meaning that meaning the allegation is false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided to a facility representative. CONTINUED FROM LIC9099 A follow-up visit was conducted on November 29, 2023. LPA was informed that the local law enforcement investigation was still ongoing and led an interview with facility administrator Anna Pastores. Additional witness interview attempted or conducted via telephone prior to the present visit. Regarding the allegation that Staff did not safeguard resident's personal property, the following has been concluded: Based on interviews conducted, site observation and records reviewed, it was confirmed that the facility meets all Title 22 requirements for its theft and loss policy. LPA also confirmed that the missing or stolen item reported as part of the present complaint was not placed under the facility's safeguarding responsibility. Law enforcement reporting was conducted appropriately by facility staff and is still pending at the time of the present visit. Additionally, the unit where R1 is observed to be residing is equipped with a lock to be used by the resident or their authorized representative at their own discretion. The evidence available at this time could not corroborate facility staff responsibility in misplacing or stealing the item reported missing or stolen. Therefore, the allegation is found to be Unsubstantiated, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Regarding the allegation that Resident sustained bruising while in care, the following has been concluded: Based on interviews conducted, a skin discoloration was observed on the R1's left hand by their authorized representative and facility staff multiple days after the reported incident involving a lost or stolen item. None of the interviews conducted were able to associate the discoloration with facility staff mishandling R1 or failing to provide adequate care and supervision. As a result, the allegation is found to be Unsubstantiated, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided to a facility representative.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Dec 7, 2023 · control 22-AS-20231101104331
