LPA Correia conducted the initial visit on August 08, 2023 and May 24, 2024 and conducted a tour of the facility . It was alleged that the staff hit resident and the staff yelled at resident. Interviews revealed that on 7/23/23 Staff 1 (S1) was trying to change Resident 1 (R1’s) brief’s. According to interviews, R1 was resisting being changed and S1 called for assistance. S2 and S3 came to assist. Staff interviews revealed both staff observed S1 smack R1 to get them to comply.

Allegation investigated: Staff left resident's bed soiled Staff are not meeting resident's diapering needs Staff left resident in soiled diapers Staff are not taking residents to the restroom Staff inappropriately had residents on video calls

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jose De La Cruz conducted an unannounced visit regarding the above allegation. LPA was greeted by Health Services Director Leah Adolfo, to whom he identified himself and explained the purpose of the visit. On January 14, 2026, the Reporting Party (RP) alleged that the facility was not meeting Resident 1’s (R1) toileting and diapering needs. RP alleged that R1 was left in soiled diapers and soiled bed, and that staff were not taking the resident to the bathroom when needed. RP stated that staff were double-diapering residents and making personal video calls in which residents were visible on screen. On January 20, 2026, LPA conducted a phone interview with RP, who reiterated the allegations. According to RP, multiple witnesses, including staff, residents, and R1’s spouse, had observed these incidents. RP reported that if the LPA visited the facility after 12:00 PM, it was highly likely the LPA would witness similar situations. [CONTINUED ON LIC9099-C] Unsubstantiated [CONTINUED FROM LIC9099] On January 20, 2026, LPA visited the facility from 12:20 PM to 4:25 PM to commence the investigation. LPA requested records, toured the facility, and interviewed staff, residents, and residents’ family members. The staff interviewed (S1, S3, S4, S5, and S6) could not confirm the incidents described by RP. LPA later interviewed S2, who also did not corroborate the allegations. LPA interviewed Resident 4 (R4) and an outside source (OS1), who typically visited the facility Monday through Friday from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, and occasionally on Saturdays to see resident 4 (R4). OS1 stated they were satisfied with both the facility and the staff, and had never observed any incidents related to the allegations. OS1 also stated that staff primarily communicate through walkie talkies rather than cell phones, and use those devices to coordinate resident care. OS1 reported never seeing a resident wait longer than five minutes for assistance. LPA toured the facility and entered eleven randomly selected rooms on both floors. No unkept rooms or soiled residents were observed. LPA also checked for double diapering or staff on their phones, and did not find evidence supporting the allegation. LPA attempted to contact R1’s spouse (OS2) by phone several times between January 20, 22 and 26 on, but received no answer. OS2 later responded by text message, stating they did not make the complaint and that RP had made the allegations. OS2 asked LPA to speak directly with RP, and did not respond to any further calls or messages. LPA contacted RP on March 13th, 2026, to report that witnesses did not corroborate the allegations and that no similar incidents were observed during the visit. RP claimed to have photographs and sent them to LPA on two separate occasions. LPA informed RP that the photographs lacked sufficient context, as it was not possible to determine how long the residents waited or whether the photos were taken at the facility. LPA agreed to conduct an additional visit to determine whether these incidents were occurring. On July 7, 2026, LPA conducted an additional visit after 2:30 PM and met with R1 while touring the facility. R1 appeared clean, comfortable, and responsive, sitting in the common area reading a magazine. LPA observed residents and staff in the common area and did not witness any incidents similar to the allegations. LPA further observed staff working in coordinated teams, communicating resident needs, and assisting residents to their rooms for clothing changes as necessary. Based on interviews, record review, and LPA observations, the preponderance of evidence standard was not met. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. No deficiencies were cited in accordance with Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. Report and Appeal Rights were discussed with and provided to the Health Services Director Leah Adolfo.

Allegation investigated: Neglect/Lack of Supervision resulted in serious injury.

On 02/21/2026, LPA Janet Ngallo conducted a subsequesnt visit to deliver findings regarding the above-mentioned allegation. LPA spoke with Resident Care Coordinator Patricia Pestano and explained the purpose of the visit. Regarding the allegation of Neglect/Lack of Supervision resulted in serious injury, resident (R1) had several falls in the facility causing R1 to have hip fractures. During the investigation, staff members were interviewed, and records were reviewed. Facility staff reported they initiated more supervision when able and frequent status checks every hour because R1 was considered to be a fall risk. S1 & S2 completed numerous assessments to determine an accurate service and care plan for R1 and to increase assistance with services and care. (Cont. on LIC 9099-C) Substantiated (Cont. from LIC 9099) R1 was sent to the hospital several times due to the falls, and during the falls had sustained a left hip fracture 6/11/2024 and a right hip fracture 08/2024 while residing in assisted living. S2 said they completed multiple assessments and recommended additional supervision for R1. Staff reported that additional status checks were implemented and R1s medications were changed by physician to assist R1 with sleep and anxiety. Facility staff notified family during any change of condition or when an incident occurred. The incident was documented, and timely medical care was provided. R1 had nine falls while residing in assisted living and three falls within one month of residing in memory care. On 09/05/24, the facility had a care conference with the family recommending a personal caregiver and a higher level of care for R1. R1 had six additional falls after the care conference. At the time of the complaint visit, Resident Care Coordinator Patricia Pestano was informed that the incident is currently under review and a future civil penalty may apply based on Health and Safety Code § 1569.49. Based on interviews which were conducted and record reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An Immediate Civil Penalty of $500.00 was also assessed/charged (refer to the LIC421-IM page). An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report along with Licensee Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided to Resident Care Coordinator Patricia Pestano, whose signature below confirms receipt of these rights. (Cont. from LIC 9099) For the allegation of Insufficient Staff, RP alleged that facility appeared to be understaffed. Facility schedule shows that on certain days the ratio for care staff and residents will be 1:7 or 1:8. Night shift has three staff scheduled which starts at 10:00 pm. For the allegation of Staff lack training, RP stated that some of the night shift caregivers were not qualified to meet the needs of residents. According to records review, all staff go through the required initial and annual training all through their tenure in the facility. Based on interviews and records review, the department has determined that although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Type of visit: Case Management - Incident

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Dang Nguyen conducted an unannounced Case Management - Incident visit. LPA was welcomed by, identified himself to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with Executive Director Katrina Jimenez and Health Services Director Leah Adolfo. Today's visit was in response to an LIC624 Incident Report, which Licensee self-submitted to the CCLD San Diego Regional Office (received on 02/02/2026). Per this LIC624, Resident #1 (R1) had an unwitnessed fall on 01/31/2026, and facility staff subsequently sent R1 to local hospital emergency room (ER) on 02/01/2026. [See LIC 811 Confidential Names List for a description of person identifiers used in this report]. During today’s visit, LPA performed a brief facility tour / welfare check on R1, collected and reviewed relevant care and medical records, and interviewed R1 and multiple pertinent facility staff. Due to their Alzheimer’s Disease diagnosis, R1 was not a reliable historian. However, records and staff interviews taken together showed: On 01/31/2026, R1 fell three (3) times inside their bedroom within one day, at around 11:50 AM, 1:00 PM, and 6:21 PM, respectively. The 11:50 AM fall did not involve any suspected injury. The 1:00 PM fall involved a bump on head, for which 911 paramedics responded, but for which R1 and their responsible person also declined transport to the hospital. The 6:21 PM fall involved pronounced pain to R1’s right shoulder area, which was immediately apparent to responding facility staff. Rather than call 911 again for R1, staff assisted R1 to bed and alerted R1’s hospice agency. Facility staff provided R1 as-needed morphine for pain, and the hospice agency dispatched a nurse a few hours later to perform a follow up visit on R1. [CONTINUED ON LIC 809-C] [CONTINUED FROM LIC 809] However, by the morning of 02/01/2026, R1 remained in pain, and their right shoulder area was now significantly discolored, so staff arranged for R1 to be transported to the hospital ER; R1 departed the facility around 11:03 AM. Per hospital ER records, R1 was diagnosed with a new “closed displaced comminuted fracture of shaft of right humerus.” (A comminuted fracture is a type of injury where the bone breaks in multiple places. A displaced fracture means the fragments have moved out of normal anatomical alignment, creating a gap or misalignment.) CCR 87465(g) requires Licensees to “immediately telephone 9-1-1 if an injury or other circumstance has resulted in an imminent threat to a resident’s health.” Regarding residents receiving hospice care, CCR 87469(c)(3) specifies, “For emergencies not directly related to the expected course of the resident’s terminal illness, the facility staff shall immediately telephone emergency response (9-1-1).” CCLD concluded that the injury to R1’s right shoulder/arm was serious and required staff to call 9-1-1. This injury also was not related to the expected course of R1’s underlying terminal illness/diagnosis. To date: The available evidence did not clearly show that Licensee’s delay in activating 911 worsened R1's injury. The available evidence also showed that Licensee had performed Care Plan updates/reappraisals on R1 in the past, as required. One (1) deficiency was cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (refer to the attached LIC 809-D). A Plan of Correction was jointly developed with the Licensee. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Katrina Jimenez and Health Services Director Leah Adolfo, to whom a copy of this report, the LIC 809-D, the LIC811 Confidential Names List, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided during the visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Feb 4, 2026

From the deficiency page — Deficiency type: Type B · Section cited: CCR 87469(c)(3) · Plan of correction due date: Feb 4, 2026

87469 Advanced Directives and Requests Regarding Resuscitative Measures: “(c)(3) Specifically for a terminally ill resident that is receiving hospice services…For emergencies not directly related to the expected course of the resident’s terminal illness, the facility staff shall immediately telephone emergency response (9-1-1).” This requirement was not met, as evidenced by: Based on records and interviews, for 1 of 49 residents (R1), who was receiving hospice care services and experiencing an emergency not directly related to the expected course of their terminal illness, Licensee’s staff did not immediately telephone emergency response (9-1-1). This posed a potential health risk to persons in care.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Feb 4, 2026

Plan of correction: On 02/02/2026, prior to CCLD’s case management visit, Licensee had already conducted an in-service retraining with its staff, educating them to call 911 when the resident’s medical emergency is not directly related to the expected course of the resident’s terminal illness. Licensee reminded its staff that while a resident and their responsible person may refuse transport to the hospital, such refusals should be made directly to first responders, after said personnel have already met with and inspected the resident. The Plan of Correction is Satisfied.

Allegation investigated: Questionable Death

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Marisela Garcia-Centeno conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver investigative findings. LPA met with Interim Executive Director, Nicole Long, and shared findings. The Department investigated the above-listed complaint allegation. The investigation consisted of observations, interviews with facility staff and outside sources, and a detailed review of relevant records, such as investigative law enforcement reports, residents’ medical records, and service care plans. On January 4, 2024, Community Care Licensing (CCL) received a complaint alleging the questionable death of a resident (R1), on December 21, 2023. It was specifically alleged that on December 14, 2023, staff did not provide care and supervision to meet residents' needs which resulted in R1 succumbing to injuries sustained from a possible assault by another resident (R2) [staff was provided LIC 811 Confidential Name List to identify the residents]. (Continue at LIC9099C) Unsubstantiated (Continue from LIC9099) Based on records review and interviews with relevant witnesses it was indicated that on December 14, 2023, there was an incident involving R1 and R2. At 6:15 a.m. during safety checks, staff observed R1 lying on the floor in R2’s room. Per staff interviews, there were no witnesses of the incident. Staff obtained immediate medical attention by emergency medical responder personnel for R1 who was transferred to the hospital via ambulance. A detailed review of R1 and R2’s medical records indicated that both residents were diagnosed with dementia and were under memory service care plans. In addition, both residents had a history of “sundowning” (confusion, anxiety, agitation, or aggression that can occur in the late afternoon or early evening) behavior. R1 was non-ambulatory and needed assistance to transfer in and out of bed. R1’s primary diagnosis was Parkinson’s disease; R1 did not have inappropriate or aggressive behavior but was confused/disoriented. R2 was ambulatory and able to independently transfer in and out of bed. R2’s medical records under “mental condition” the box for “Confused/Disoriented” was marked as “yes”. For inappropriate and aggressive behavior, the box was marked as “no”. In addition, both residents were in neighboring rooms, sharing a “Jack and Jill” adjoining bathroom. A review of the admission agreements and the pre-admission assessments for R1 and R2 indicated that they both were new residents (R1 was admitted on 11/18/2023 and R2 was admitted on 11/29/2023), to the facility with no history of aggressive or violent behavior. All the staff that worked on December 14, 2023, were interviewed on the date of the incident. The responsible parties of both residents were interviewed as well as an attempted interview with R2 was conducted on December 14, 2023. Due to R2’s documented dementia medical condition, they were not able to provide relevant details of the incident. Based on interviews with the assigned investigator with the County of San Diego Medical Examiner’s Office, the incident was ruled as “accidental” by the Medical Examiner’s Office. A review of relevant medical reports indicated that R1’s physician stated that R1’s cause of death was determined as blunt force trauma to their head. It was determined there were no witnesses to what, if anything, had occurred directly between residents R1 and R2, such as a physical altercation. According to interviews conducted with facility staff safety check protocols were adhered to during the shift when the event occurred. Safety check logs were obtained and reviewed which confirmed the required documentation of the safety checks. (Continue at LIC9099C) (Continue from LIC9099C) The Department has investigated the above-mentioned allegation and based on interviews with staff, residents, outside sources, and records review, the preponderance of the evidence has not been met, therefore, this allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Interim Executive Director, Nicole Long, to whom a copy of this report, LIC811 Confidential Name List, and the Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided at the conclusion of the visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Apr 11, 2025 · control 08-AS-20240104102521

Type of visit: Case Management - Incident

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Dang Nguyen conducted an unannounced Case Management - Incident visit. LPA was welcomed by, identified himself to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with Executive Director Geovanni Aguilar. Today's visit was in response to an LIC624 Incident Report, which licensee self-submitted to the CCLD San Diego Regional Office (received on 11/28/2023). According to the LIC624: on 11/27/2023, Resident #1 (R1) briefly eloped (left without staff supervision) from the facility building. [See LIC 811 Confidential Names List for a description of R1.] R1 was quickly located and escorted back to the facility unharmed. During today’s visit, LPA performed a brief facility tour and welfare check, verifying that R1 was unharmed. LPA reviewed and collected copies of pertinent care records. LPA also interview R1 and relevant staff. According to R1’s latest LIC602 Physician’s Report (dated 11/01/2023): R1 was diagnosed with Dementia, and their doctor determined that they were not able to safely leave the facility unassisted. Interviews and care records showed: R1 had moved into the facility about a week before the incident. On 11/27/2023 around 10:45 AM, a staff person saw R1 in the facility’s parking lot and redirected R1 back inside, unharmed. Ten to twenty minutes prior, R1 was seen inside the facility by multiple staff. Camera footage showed R1 exited from a corner of the facility where there were no doors. Staff observed within this immediate area was a vacant resident room, where there was a broken window stop (designed to prevent the window from being fully opened) and a dislodged window screen. The parking lot where R1 was located was immediately adjacent to this window. Although R1 could not recall details of the elopement incident, circumstantial evidence showed that R1 forcibly exited the facility via this window. [CONTINUED ON LIC 809-C] [CONTINUED FROM LIC 809] LPA observed: Licensee had since repaired the above referenced window stop and window screen. Staff alert and delayed-egress devices on exit doors (where residents diagnosed with Dementia reside) were operational. Licensee possessed a written Absentee Notification Plan as part of R1’s record of care. Licensee had since updated R1’s Plan of Care to increase routine observation for them. Training records shows: On 11/28/2023, Licensee educated direct care staff on how to respond to residents’ “Wandering Behavior” and “Exit Seeking Behavior.” During today’s visit, LPA reviewed data on R1’s biography and likes and dislikes, which Licensee had obtained as part of its pre-admission appraisal. LPA provided Licensee with Technical Assistance (TA) on how to make this information more accessible and actionable to the direct care staff. No deficiencies were observed or cited during today's visit. An exit interview was conducted with Aguilar, to whom a copy of this report, the LIC9102-TA, the LIC811 Confidential Names List, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided during the visit.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Nov 29, 2023
