The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly for assisted living shared bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.

Among 7 other homes of a similar licensed size in Long Beach that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $2,349 to $3,350 a month, and the middle figure is $2,800 (n = 7 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.

If the money runs out, what Medi-Cal covers
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 shared bedroom, seen September 9, 2026.

14 homes like this within 10 miles publish starting rates mostly between $1,800–$5,250.

  • 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).

Allegation investigated: Staff does not allow resident to have private visits. Staff restrict residents’ ability to leave the facility for personal outings.

On August 18, 2026, the California Department of Social Services/Community Care Licensing (CDSS/CCL) Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Ernand Dabuet, conducted an initial unannounced complaint visit. Robert Jakini, Executive Director, greeted the LPA. (LPA) explained that the purpose of the visit is to investigate the allegations mentioned above. The investigation included collecting documents and conducting a tour of the facility. A review of the Personnel Roster (dated 08/18/26), Resident Roster (dated 08/18/26), Resident #1 (R1's) Residency Agreement (dated 05/22/26) , Medical Assessment for Residential Care Facilities LIC 602A (dated 05/13/26), Service Plan (dated 05/15/26), Visitor's Log (date 06/27/26 through 08/17/26), and other pertinent records associated with this complaint. Interviews were conducted with Resident #1 through Resident #6 and Staff #1 and Staff #2. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Unsubstantiated INVESTIGATION REVEALED FOLLOWING: Allegation #1: Staff does not allow resident to have private visits. It is alleged that Resident #1 (R1) does not allow residents to have private visits. Reports indicated that (R1) was not allowed a private visit on July 11, 2026, and that visits must be conducted with the responsible party. Additionally, the court ruling allowing (R1) unrestricted visitation was not granted. No further information was provided regarding this matter. On August 18, 2026, between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM, the Department conducted interviews with two staff members, identified as Staff #1 and Staff #2 (S1 and S2). Two (2) out of the two (2) staff members confirmed that there are no restrictions preventing resident (R1) from having private visits. They indicated that residents are allowed to have visitors and can meet in private areas, such as their rooms or designated visitation spaces. Staff members explained that they do not interfere with or restrict private visits unless mandated by a court order, care plan, or safety concern. In the case of (R1), there is a court order with specific stipulations. These include that visits cannot exceed ninety (90) minutes, no more than two (2) persons may visit the conservatee at a time, and no disparaging comments are allowed during visitation. On July 11, 2026, a guest for (R1) violated several of these terms on a visit on July 8, 2026, leading (R1's) conservator to deny visitation rights in accordance with the court order. Furthermore, (S1) stated according to (R1)’s Residency Agreement if guests are abusive to residents or staff, we may ask them to leave, limit their visits, or ban them from the Community. On August 18, 2026, between 10:35 AM and 11:40 AM, the Department interviewed residents identified as Residents #1 through #6 (R1-R6). Six (6) out of the six (6) residents confirmed that they have not experienced any restrictions on visits. They reported that visits are permitted and that staff have not obstructed private visitation. (R1) stated that there are no issues or concerns regarding visits and noted that staff make accommodations to ensure privacy during visits. On August 18, 2026, between 12:30 PM and 1:05 PM, the Department interviewed a witness identified as Witness #1 (W1), who is the responsible party for (R1). (W1) could not validate the claim. (W1) emphasized that guests are afforded privacy during their visits with (R1) and highlighted the existence of a Superior Court of California order. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) This order mandates that those listed adhere strictly to the visitation conditions outlined in the agreement. Any violation of these terms could result in the suspension of visitation rights. (W1) reported in the case of guest on July 8, 2026, had violated these terms and was denied visitation on July 11, 2026. The Department reviewed (R1) 's Residency Agreement (dated 05/22/26), which indicated in sections 4-4.1 and 4.3, "If your guests become disruptive to the operations of the Community and/or are verbally or physically abusive to Residents, our staff, or others, we may request that they leave the Community until their behavior is under control or may restrict their visitation." A review of Medical Assessment LIC 602A (dated 05/13/26), Resident Assessment (dated 05/15/26), Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles Court Order (dated 09/27/23 and 01/05/26) verified (R1's) lack of capacity to make own decisions and verification of visitation terms and conditions. Additional review of Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles Letters of Conservatorship (dated 11/22/23) verifies (W1) as the responsible party for (R1). Facility email documentation (dated 07/14/26) verified that (R1)'s guest violated the terms and conditions of the court order. Further review of Facility's Visitor's Log (dated 06/27/26 through 08/17/26) verified that (R1) is visited from individuals listed on court order. Based on the information obtained, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that staff does not allow the resident private visits. Allegation #2: Staff restrict residents’ ability to leave the facility for personal outings. It is alleged that Resident #1 (R1) is restricted by staff from leaving for personal outings. Reports indicated that facility staff are directed to call the responsible party for visits whenever guests seek to arrange a visit. This often results in the responsible party for (R1) arriving before the guest, leading to denied visits on August 11, 2026. No further information was provided regarding this matter. On August 18, 2026, between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM, the Department conducted interviews with two staff members, identified as Staff #1 and Staff #2 (S1 and S2). Two (2) out of the two (2) staff members unable to validate this claim. Both staff indicated that residents are permitted to leave the facility for personal outings and activities of their choice, provided it is safe to do so and consistent with the residents’ care plan. On August 11, 2026, (R1) already had scheduled plan with the responsible party and was taken out of the community. The facility did have any control of guests scheduling visits who arrived that day when (R1) was out in the community. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Staff stated they do not prevent residents from going on outings and assist residents with arranging transportation when needed. On August 18, 2026, between 10:35 AM and 11:40 AM, the Department interviewed residents identified as Residents #1 through #6 (R1-R6). Six (6) out of the six (6) residents verified staff do not interfere with their personal outings and are able to leave the facility freely. None of the interviewed residents reported that staff prevented or discouraged them from leaving for personal activities. (R1) expressed can leave the facility with visitors with no issues or concerns. On August 18, 2026, between 12:30 PM and 1:05 PM, the Department interviewed a witness identified as Witness #1 (W1). W1 stated that they had already scheduled an outing with Resident #1 (R1) for August 11, 2026, which just coincided with a guest plan visit. Staff did not intentionally restrict R1's ability to leave the community with specific individuals. However, (W1) emphasized that a current court order imposes clear terms and conditions that all involved must adhere to. The Department reviewed (R1) 's Residency Agreement (dated 05/22/26). A review of Medical Assessment LIC 602A (dated 05/13/26), Resident Assessment (dated 05/15/26), Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles Court Order (dated 09/27/23 and 01/05/26) verified (R1's) lack of capacity to make own decisions and inability to leave the facility unsupervised, and the terms and conditions of the court order. Additional review of Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles Letters of Conservatorship (dated 11/22/23) verifies (W1) as the responsible party for (R1). Facility email documentation (dated 07/14/26) verified that (R1)'s guest violated the terms and conditions of the court order. Further review of the Facility's Visitor's Log (dated 06/27/26 through 08/17/26) verified that (R1) was visited by individuals listed on the court order. Based on the information gathered, there is not enough evidence to support the allegation that staff restrict residents’ ability to leave the facility for personal outings. 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 allegations may have happened or are valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. Therefore, the allegations are unsubstantiated. No deficiencies cited.

Allegation investigated: Staff did not ensure a fall plan was put in place after resident had prior falls resulting in a brain bleed

On 08/06/2026 at 8:40am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Zina Brown conducted a subsequent visit to deliver the investigation findings. LPA met with Robert Jakini (Administrator) and the purpose of the visit was explained. The investigation consisted of the following: On 12/18/2025, the Department obtained copies of the following: LIC 500 Personnel Report (dated 12/08/2025), Resident Roster (received on 12/18/2025), Staff Schedule for 12/15/2025 - 12/20/2025, List of Fall Risk Residents (received on 12/18/2025), Resident 1(R1) documentation such as LIC 601 Emergency Identification (date 05/09/2024), LIC 602 Physician Report (dated 08/07/2025 & 04/18/2024), LIC 603 Pre-Placement Appraisal (dated 05/11/2024), Admission Agreement (dated 05/08/2024), Service Plan (dated 07/29/2025,12/03/2025 & 12/27/2025), Physician's Orders (printed 12/18/2025), Resident Assessment (dated 04/29/2025 & 01/06/2026), Progress Notes (dated 07/24/2024 - 12/16/2025), Admission Orders (dated 05/04/2024) and SIRS (03/07/2025, 04/13/2025, 08/02/2025, & 08/17/2025. . .investigation findings continue on LIC 9099-C. Substantiated On 03/04/2026 at 2:19pm, the Department interviewed W1. W1 stated R1 sustained may falls and the facility did not notify W1 about the first fall and learned about it from the hospital instead. On 04/29/2026 at 4:32pm, the Department interviewed W2. W2 stated R1 is ambulatory and is a fall risk that needed a better line of sight to prevent falls. The records review showed that R1 was admitted to the facility in May 2024 with documentation indicating that R1 was ambulatory and able to complete personal care tasks independently. The physician’s report (dated 04/18/2024), and the admission orders (dated 05/04/2024), reflected that R1 did not require assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, or mobility at the time of admission. The pre-placement appraisal (dated 05/11/2024), noted mild mobility impairment, moderate forgetfulness, confusion, and occasional need for night supervision due to wandering. These early records established R1’s baseline functioning and cognitive limitations. In March, April, and August 2025, R1 was involved in resident-to-resident altercations resulting in minor injuries. On 07/22/2025, staff documented that R1 experienced dizziness in the morning. On 10/30/ 2025, R1 sustained an unwitnessed fall resulting in a hematoma above the right eye and was transported to the hospital. On 11/08/2025, R1 sustained another unwitnessed fall, reporting that R1 fell from the bed and hit the back of the head, resulting in another hematoma and hospital transport. Hospital records from 11/08/2025 - 11/12/2025, documented intracranial bleeding and a left cerebral convexity acute subdural hemorrhage. These incidents demonstrated a pattern of unwitnessed falls and repeated head injuries. In December 2025, records showed a series of health-related entries and additional falls. R1 returned from Alamitos Belmont Rehabilitation, a skilled nursing facility on 12/03/2025. On 12/04/2025 R1 complained of stomach pain, and on 12/11/2025, R1 complained of right leg pain. On December 14, 2025, R1 sustained an unwitnessed fall at 0515 hours and was assisted back to bed. On 12/15/2025, R1 sustained another unwitnessed fall and was found on the bathroom floor complaining of head pain. Hospital records from St. Mary Medical Center (dated 12/15/2025 - 12/16/2025) documented a large mixed-density subdural hematoma with midline shift. On 12/16/2025, ICU staff notified the facility that the incident would be reported due to R1’s history of repeated hospitalizations for unwitnessed falls. R1 remained hospitalized through 12/22/2025, 2025, with records noting frequent falls and a decision to forego neurosurgical intervention. A final December entry dated 12/27/2025, indicated no complaints. A resident assessment (dated 01/06/2026), documented that R1 required assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, hygiene, and toileting, and required observation and fall management, including safety checks four times per shift. This assessment reflected a significant change from R1’s earlier functioning. Additional records obtained in January 2026 - February 2026 included medical records from the hospital and attempts to interview staff. Interviews conducted in March 2026 with S2 and S1 confirmed that R1 sustained unwitnessed falls, complained of head pain, and that R1’s family resisted hospital transport. On 03/18/2026, resident interviews were conducted, and R1 declined to participate. On 04/29/2026, W2 stated that R1 was a fall risk and required improved visibility and supervision to prevent falls. Based on the evidence gathered, interviews conducted, and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above-mentioned allegation are found to be SUBSTANTIATED.

Allegation investigated: Staff are not following resident's dietary restrictions. Staff are not following resident's admissions agreement.

On August 4, 2026, the California Department of Social Services/Community Care Licensing (CDSS/CCL) Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Ernand Dabuet, conducted a subsequent unannounced complaint visit. Robert Jakini, Executive Director, greeted the LPA. (LPA) explained that the purpose of the visit is to investigate the allegations mentioned above. The investigation included collecting documents and conducting a tour of the facility. A review of the Personnel Roster (dated 08/03/26), Resident Roster (dated 08/03/26), Resident #1 (R1's) Resident Lease Agreement, Physician's Report for Residential Care Facilities LIC 602A, Service Plan (dated 05/04/26), Resident Notes & Incidents, and other pertinent records associated with this complaint. Interviews were conducted with Resident #1 through Resident #7, Staff #1,and Staff #2 and Witness #1. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Unsubstantiated INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: Allegation #1: Staff are not following resident's dietary restrictions. It has been reported that staff are not following the dietary restrictions for Resident #1 (R1). Specifically, kitchen staff have allegedly been serving seasoned foods instead of the required low-acidic, non-seasoned meals over the past two weeks. While (R1's) dietary needs were previously accommodated for periods of 6 to 8 weeks, compliance has recently declined. No additional information has been provided regarding this matter. On August 3, 2026, between 9:30 AM and 01:20 PM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 and Staff #2 (S1-S2). Two (2) out of the two (2) staff cannot corroborate this claim. Both staff acknowledged their awareness of residents' dietary restrictions and confirmed that meal plans are regularly updated based on physician documentation. Additionally, (S1-S2) informed that the facility has collaborated with Assisted Dining Solutions to manage nutritional dietary requirements, which validates their menus. (R1) is not classified under a "special diet" prescribed by a physician, as confirmed by (R1's) Physician's Report LIC 602A (dated 05/09/24), which indicates no special dietary needs. While there is a medical note (dated 10/03/25) that is not from (R1's) primary physician, along with a second medical note (dated 01/27/26) from another physician, these documents recommend that (R1) avoid certain foods and food groups. However, they do not specify any clear dietary restrictions. It is suggested that (R1) consult a nutritionist or dietitian to tailor (R1's) diet based on specific symptoms. (S2) shared that the kitchen is partnered with (R1) to ensure all dietary meal requests are met effectively. A comprehensive weekly meal plan has been created, allowing (R1) to review daily options and alternatives. (R1) is encouraged to suggest any changes or additional choices as needed, which will be included in the "weekly meal plan." This plan is readily accessible upon request each week. (S2) emphasized that any disruption in meal accommodations occurs when (R1) does not submit a complete set of requests for the entire week. On August 3, 2026, between 10:15 AM and 12:45 PM, the Department interviewed residents identified as Resident #1 through Resident #7 (R1-R7). Six (6) out of the seven (7) residents could not support this claim. (R2-R7) interviewed did not report receiving meals inconsistent with their dietary restrictions or did not have any dietary restrictions. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) (R1) acknowledged that the kitchen has been accommodating (R1's) meal selections based on (R1's) dietary recommendations. However, (R1) expressed concerns about the inconsistency over the past few weeks. Despite this, (R1) appreciates the kitchen staff for being considerate and allowing (R1) the weekly meal plan as a special service solely for (R1). The Department reviewed (R1’s) Physician's Report LIC 602A (dated 05/09/24), which reflected no specified dietary restrictions (e.g., diabetic diet, low-sodium diet). Facility Daily Menus (dated 05/10/26 through 008/08/26) indicated menus approve by Assisted Dining Solutions. Medical Notes (dated 10/03/25 and 01/27/26), Weekly Meal Plan (dated 06/14/26 through 07/25/26), Internal Letter to (R1) RE: Meals and Food Request (dated 10/21/25), and Service Plan (dated 07/29/25). The Department did not observe any meals being served that contradicted documented restrictions during the visit. Based on file review, interviews, and observations, there was insufficient evidence to support the allegation. Allegation #2: Staff are not following resident's admissions agreement. It is alleged that staff are not complying with Resident #1's (R1's) admission agreement. There have been indications that the facility is failing to uphold the agreements made during admission, which guaranteed a one-bedroom unit with a private bathroom. However, the facility has transformed the existing floor into memory care and had (R1) relocate to a shared room, which is insufficient for (R1's) belongings and furniture. No further details have been provided regarding this situation. On August 3, 2026, between 9:30 AM and 10:02 AM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 (S1). (S1) recognized understanding of the Admission Agreement's terms and agreed to adhere to the specified services, which include supervision, help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), meal provisions, and the lease agreement. (S1) clarified that the Resident Lease Agreement for (R1) indicates single apartment occupancy. In this regard, "single" does not mean a "private room" as mentioned in the agreement. Furthermore, (R1) is participating in a program that requires a private or semi-private room equipped with a full bathroom, kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave, and sufficient storage space for supplies. (R1) is being moved to a semi-private room on an assisted living floor and is compliant with the Resident Lease Agreement (dated 08/17/24).

(W1) confirmed that (R1) is a participant of the program and that the program requires a private or semi-private room equipped with a full bathroom, kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave, and sufficient storage space for supplies. (R1) did not have a kitchenette, refrigerator microwave in (R1's) current room and stated that it would benefit for (R1) to have these amenities as (R1) has dietary recommendations. The Department reviewed the Resident #1’s (R1’s) Rental Lease Agreement (dated 08/17/24), DHCS Amenity Form (dated 06/24/24), Regency Palms Memory Care and Assisted Living Floor Plans, Facility Sketch and which documented the services the facility agreed to provide.

A1 stated that staff were instructed that moving forward, 911 should be contacted when a resident shows any concerning symptoms, and if the fire department has concerns, they are to contact the Administrator directly. A1 reported that staff assessed the resident, notified the resident power of attorney, and arranged transport consistent with their understanding of protocol at the time.

Allegation investigated: Staff does not ensure residents receive correspondence in a prompt manner.

On March 17, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Pamela Bunker conducted an initial visit to gather information regarding the above allegations. LPA met with Robert Jakini, Executive Director, and explained the purpose of the visit. LPA was granted entry to the facility. The investigation consisted of the following: On March 17, 2026, the following documents were reviewed and obtained as part of the investigation: Personnel Report (dated 03/17/2026), Resident Roster (dated 03/17/2026), Uniform Statutory Form Power of Attorney (dated 04/20/2023), and Admission Agreement (dated 02/16/2024). In addition, on March 17, 2027, between 10:25 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., LPA Bunker conducted interviews with staff members S#1–S#3 (S1-S3) and residents R#1–R#5 (R1-R5) regarding the above complaint allegation. LPA Bunker and Mr. Jakini observed the facility’s mail station and reviewed the current procedures for receiving, sorting, and distributing resident mail to assess whether the established process is being followed consistently. See continued LIC9099-C page 2. Unsubstantiated Continued LIC9099-C page 2. Investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Staff does not ensure residents receive correspondence in a prompt manner. It was alleged that staff fail to ensure residents receive their mail in a prompt manner. On 03/17/2026, between 10:25 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., LPA Bunker interviewed staff members S1–S3. All 3 out of 3 staff members stated that the facility ensures residents receive their correspondence in a timely manner. 3 out of 3 staff members explained that when mail is delivered by the mail carrier, it is immediately sorted, separated by floors, and distributed to residents in the Assisted Living Unit (ALU) by the end of the day. 3 out of 3 staff members stated that mail for residents in the Memory Care Unit (MCU) is held at the front desk in a locked, sorted cabinet. This process is in place because residents in the MCU have dementia and are unable to manage or keep track of their mail. According to S1–S3, mail for MCU residents is released only to responsible parties, family members, or the Power of Attorney (POA) upon request. Staff emphasized that they do not provide resident mail to anyone who is not the designated responsible party. 3 out of 3 staff members reported that the resident’s mail in question had accumulated for approximately four months because the POA was not picking up the mail, despite staff’s attempts to contact the POA. Staff stated that the mail continued to pile up and that family members frequently came in on weekends after hours requesting the mail, which could not be released at those times because it was secured. S1 stated that they reached out to the POA and offered either to mail the resident’s correspondence directly to them or to arrange a specific time for the mail to be picked up from the facility. All three staff members confirmed that the facility has established procedures to ensure residents receive their correspondence in a timely manner and denied the allegation. During today's visit, LPA Bunker also observed staff actively distributing mail to residents. On 03/17/2026, between 10:25 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., LPA Bunker conducted interviews with residents R1–R5. 5 out of 5 residents stated that staff ensure they receive their mail in a prompt and timely manner and reported no issues with receiving their correspondence when it is delivered by the mail carrier. Three out of three residents interviewed regarding this allegation denied that staff fail to provide mail in a timely manner. See continued LIC9099-C page 2. Continued LIC9099-C page 3. Based on interviews, available evidence, observation, information received, and records reviewed, there was not enough sufficient evidence to support the allegation. 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, therefore the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. There were no deficiencies cited. A copy of the Complaint Investigation Report LIC9099 and LIC9099-Cs was provided to Robert Jakini, Executive Director.

On March 12, 2026, the California Department of Social Services/Community Care Licensing (CDSS/CCL) Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ernand Dabuet conducted an initial unannounced complaint visit. Robert Janiki Executive Director greeted the LPA. LPA explained that the purpose of the visit is to investigate the allegation mentioned above. The investigation included a collection of records, interviews and collateral visit to Bixby Towers Post Acute Rehab. The Department collected service records for Resident #1 (R1), Medical Assessment for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly LIC 602A (dated 08/01/25), Identification and Emergency Information LIC 601 (dated 12/20/24), Resident Assessment (dated 12/31/25), Unusual Incident Report LIC 624 (dated 03/03/26), and Durable Power of Attorney for Management of Property and Personal Affairs (dated 06/15/24) for and other documents pertinent or associated with this complaint. Interviews conducted with Resident #1 and Staff #1-#4 and Witness #1. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099--C) Unsubstantiated INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: Allegation: Staff did not notify resident's responsible party of a change in resident's condition. It is alleged that the facility failed to notify the party responsible of Resident #1 (R1) regarding a change in the resident’s condition. Reports indicate that (R1) began exhibiting symptoms of a stroke on Saturday, February 28, 2026, yet the facility did not inform the responsible party. While it is unclear whether (R1) had a stroke on February 28, 2026, there was a noticeable change in condition, and no responsible party was notified. The following day, March 1, 2026, (R1) fell; however, the party responsible was not informed of the severity of the fall. The reports indicate that the fall occurred when (R1) reached for a television remote. No additional information has been provided regarding this incident. On March 12, 2026, between 10:45 AM and 11:10 AM, the Department interviewed a resident member identified as Resident #1. (R1) remembered feeling unwell on February 28, 2026, and then experiencing a fall. R1 said that (R1) didn't know exactly how (R1) felt but was sure (R1) did not feel well. After going to the hospital, doctors diagnosed (R1) with a mild stroke based on an MRI scan, which showed it affected the left side of (R1's) body. (R1) explained that when (R1) felt unwell, the facility staff responded immediately and called for medical assistance; however, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) did not arrive promptly. During the interview, (R1) confirmed that the person responsible for (R1) was informed about (R1's) health change. (R1) also said this person was allowed to talk with (R1). (R1) described the fall as happening when (R1) reached for the television remote, lost balance, and slipped. (R1) agreed to go to the hospital for treatment. Overall, R1 reported that the facility staff treated (R1) well, responded quickly to (R1's) needs, and always provided (R1) with medical help. On March 12, 2026, between 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #4 (S1-S4). Three (3) out of the four (4) staff members could not corroborate this claim. All staff members confirmed that the family representative was notified. They explained that on the evening of February 28, 2026, the resident (R1) did not feel well, but staff did not consider it a significant change in the resident's condition as (R1) was fine the day before. (Evaluation Report continues) Staff members (S2-S4) stated they are not trained medical professionals and indicated they could not determine if (R1) was experiencing a stroke. This was only verified after (R1) was hospitalized and had a (MRI). Prior to the (MRI) the hospital contacted the facility and made the medical assessment that (R1) did not have a stroke. Even the hospital was uncertain. During the assessment at the facility, (R1) reported feeling unwell but did not want to request medical attention. The following morning, (R1) experienced a fall and even then (R1) refused medical attention Staff assisted (R1), who claimed to have no injuries that would require calling 9-1-1. During this time, facility staff attempted to contact the family representative several times by phone and text, but there was no response. (S2-S4) explained that the proper procedure for care staff is to notify the medication technician if they observe a change in a resident's condition, who will then report to the Wellness Nurse. However, (S2-S4) clarified that the facility took proactive measures by contacting 9-1-1 after (R1) fell, and non-emergency paramedics and EMTs determined that the situation was non-emergency. The Department reviewed Resident #1 (R1’s) Medical Assessment for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly LIC 602A (dated 08/01/25), Identification and Emergency Information LIC 601 (dated 12/20/24), Resident Assessment (dated 12/31/25), Unusual Incident Report LIC 624 (dated 03/03/26), St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Records, Email Communications (dated 03/06/26) and Durable Power of Attorney for Management of Property and Personal Affairs (dated 06/15/24). Further review of Communication Logs (dated 03/01/2026 & 03/03/2025), Alert Report for Care Predict (03/01/2026), Staff Schedule (dated 02/22/2026 - 03/07/2026) and Notice of Employee as to Change in Relationship (03/05/2026) verified that (R1’s) was notified multiple times on March 1, 2026, between 05:27 AM and 11:41 AM with phone calls and messages. The Community Care Licensing Unusual Incident Report LIC 624 revealed the family representative was notified. Based on the information gathered, there is not enough evidence to support the allegation mentioned above. Based on the information gathered from the facility, 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.

Allegation investigated: Staff falsifield a resident's records while in care. Staff mishandled a resident's medications while in care.

On 02/13/26, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Antonine Richard conducted a subsequent visit to deliver findings regarding the above-mentioned allegations. The department met with Executive Director Jakini Robert and explained the purpose of the visit. The Investigation consisted of the following: On 05/21/25, the department requested and obtained the following documents via email: Copy of the staff and resident roster, reviewed residents files and collected copies of a Resident #1 (R1) Lease Agreement, Service Plan, Resident Assessment, Preplacement Appraisal Information, Identification and Emergency Information, Physician’s Report, Medication Destruction Records, Resident Care Plan, Unusual Incident Report/Resident Medical Records, Staff notes, Doctor visit reports, Doctors orders, Hospital discharge papers for (R1). The Department interviewed 3 staff members (S1-S3), the Executive Director (ED), the Medical Physician (MP), and six Residents #1-6 (R1-R6). Report Continued on LIC9099C Substantiated Allegation #2: Staff falsified a resident's records while the resident was in care. Regarding the allegation, “Staff falsified a resident's records while in care,” The complaint alleged that staff are initialing medications they do not have or that have been discontinued. During the department visit on 11/12/25, the department interviewed six residents, #1-6 (R1-R6), who denied the allegations. The department also interviewed three staff members, #1-3 (S1-S3). Two of the three staff members stated they mishandled R1’s medication while in care. The department reviewed the QuikMAR system and the medications for Resident #1 (R1). It was noted that two medications for R1 were marked as administered; however, one medication, Fluoxetine HCl 10 mg capsule, had been discontinued on July 7, 2024, but still appeared as administered in May 2025. Additionally, a new prescription for Fluoxetine HCl 40 mg capsule was issued on July 7, 2024, but it was also discontinued in May 2025. The Department reviewed QuikMAR for Resident #1 and found the documentation for medication administration insufficient. Medications intended for oral administration as a single tablet every 12 hours were not accurately recorded. Med Tech did not initiate some entries; some medications were not documented when they were refused or when residents were out of the community; and others should not have been initiated for various reasons. Additionally, these medications should not be included on the list for administration by Med Tech for Resident #1 (R1). Regarding the allegation, “Staff falsified a resident's records while in care,” based on record reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be substantiated. The California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6 & Chapter 8) is cited in the attached LIC 9099D. A civil penalty was assessed for a repeat violation within the last 12 months. Allegation: #3: Staff mishandled a resident's medications while in care Regarding the allegation that “Staff mishandled a resident's medications while in care,” it is alleged that the staff is not dispensing medications as prescribed. A review of R1’s April 2025 QuikMAR showed that several medications scheduled for twice daily were not administered correctly. For example, the Sodium Chloride 1GM Tablet prescribed by the doctor on April 8 was intended to be taken twice daily, in the morning and evening. The department's April 2025 QuikMAR records indicated that R1 did not receive the medication from April 8 to April 13. Later, in May 2025, the QuikMAR record showed the medication was given from May 1 to May 15, 2025, except for the morning of May 16 and the afternoon of May 17. The Department interviewed three staff members, #1-3 (S1-S3). Two of the three staff members suggested that medication handling was mishandled during R1's care. The Department also interviewed the Executive Director (ED), who stated that QuikMAR identified inconsistencies in the administration of R1’s sodium tablets and other medications. However, the facility staff provided quality care to residents. Additionally, the Department interviewed MP, who was unable to confirm whether the medication mishandling caused R1’s hospitalization. The Department also interviewed R1, who said R1 liked living there. During interviews on 11/12/2025, six residents (R1-R6) were asked whether staff had signed off and whether Med Tech had provided medications; all six confirmed that Med Tech had given them their medications as prescribed. During the investigation, the Department found evidence supporting the allegations.

Based on observation, LPA observed a repositioning chart posted in Resident 1’s room, which served as a reminder for staff regarding scheduled repositioning needs for R1. The Department interviewed the responsible party for R1, who stated they did not have any concerns regarding the allegations listed above. The Department also interviewed Witness 1, who stated they had no concerns regarding staff repositioning of Resident 1 or the cleaning and care of the resident’s wounds. Based on the information gathered, interviews, and record reviews, there is not enough evidence to support that Regency Palms Long Beach failed to provide proper care to Resident 1 resulting in pressure injures for the allegation mentioned above. 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, therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Page 2 of 6 The investigation revealed the following: Allegation: “Resident sustained multiple falls resulting in a fracture due to a lack of supervision”, it is being alleged that on 12/31/2024 R1 had unwitnessed falls due to lack of supervision which resulted in a hip fracture. A review of R1’s medical and facility records revealed that R1 was a known fall risk who required significant assistance with mobility and Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). According to R1’s Individual Service Plan dated 7/3/2024, R1 required extensive assistance with mobility and toileting to prevent falls, and staff were directed to encourage and ensure the use of assistive devices such as walkers or canes. The Physician’s Report dated 8/19/2024, documented that R1 was non-ambulatory, required total assistance and supervision, and needed assistance with toileting. Similarly, R1’s Preplacement Appraisal Information dated 8/24/2024, indicated that R1 had a wobbly gait, needed physical assistance from another person for stability while walking, and required toileting assistance. According to medical records from St. Mary Medical Center-Long Beach, R1 was admitted to the hospital on 12/31/2024 and diagnosed with right hip fracture. Video surveillance from 12/31/2024, showed the following: at 7:35:24 a.m., R1 was seen walking toward the bathroom without an assistive device and without staff assistance, while an unidentified staff member stood nearby, looking at their phone near the bathroom door. At 7:35:44 a.m., R1 entered the bathroom alone. The staff member did not follow R1 and remained in place, still looking at their phone. At 7:36:05 a.m., a thump was heard, followed by R1 calling out, “Ay, ay, ay…” Page 3 of 6 The staff member then approached and entered the bathroom at 7:36:08 a.m., where R1 could be heard saying, “Ay, ay, ay. I fell.” The staff member responded, “Oh my god, are you okay? You’re okay, you’re okay, honey.” At 8:00:42 a.m., video surveillance showed that R1’s walker was not within reach of the bed and that R1’s bedroom door was closed. At 8:00:44 a.m., R1 was observed getting out of bed, putting on slippers, and attempting to walk toward the walker. At 8:01:32 a.m., R1 fell onto the floor beside the bed and repeatedly called out, “Ay, ay, ay” for roughly two minutes. At 8:03:59 a.m., another staff member opened R1’s bedroom door, entered the room, and began assisting R1. Emergency personnel were later called, and R1 was transported to the hospital. Interviews conducted with staff members S1, S2, W5, and W9 confirmed that R1 was recognized by all four individuals as a fall risk who required frequent redirection and regular safety checks. Based on the evidence, on 12/31/2024, R1 did not receive the necessary assistance or care & supervision with mobility, transfers, and toileting as outlined in their care plan and medical documentation. The lack of appropriate supervision and failure to implement R1’s individualized care needs resulted in two consecutive falls on the same morning, ultimately leading to R1’s hospitalization and diagnosis of a hip fracture. Based on observations, interviews and record review(s), the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 and Chapter 8 are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An immediate Civil Penalty of $500.00 is being assessed please see attached LIC421IM.

At approximately 8:03:59 a.m., another staff member opened R1’s bedroom door, entered the room, and began assisting R1. At approximately 8:14:15 a.m., ambulance sirens were heard in the background. At approximately 8:20:20 a.m., two firefighters enter the room. A firefighter indicates that they will be taking R1 to the hospital. Interviews conducted with S1, S2, W5, W9, and W10 confirmed that R1 sustained a fall in 12/2024 which resulted in a hip fracture and facility staff called 911. A review of the department’s records, R1’s records, and emails between the department and W5 revealed that the facility did not submit a written report of the incident that occurred to R1 on 12/31/2024 to the department. Furthermore, department has not received an Unusual Incident/Injury Report (UIR) regarding the incident of R1 on 12/31/2024.

Investigation Revealed the Following: Allegation #2: Illegal Eviction. The complaint alleges that the facility issued an illegal eviction to Resident #1 (R1). It reported that the facility failed to issue a legal eviction because the notice was defective. The notice failed to state any of the five legal reasons for the eviction and failed to provide details required by Title 22 Regulations. On May 23, 2025, between 09:30 AM and 10:50 AM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #3 (S1-S3). Three (3) out of the three (3) staff members confirmed that a 30-Day Notice of Termination of Residency Letter (dated 04/14/25) was issued to Resident #1 (R1) along with the family representative and Community Care Licensing (CCL). According to (S1-S3) this Eviction Notice has now been dismissed as of May 19, 2025.

Investigation Revealed the Following: Allegation #1: Staff retaliated against resident resulting in eviction. The complaint alleges that the facility staff retaliated against a resident, leading to an eviction. Reports indicate that Regency Palms attempted to evict Resident #1 (R1) in a classic retaliation case. It appears that the facility is using unspecified incidents, which are common among residents with Major Neurocognitive Disorder (NCD), as justification for removing (R1). The family representative for (R1) is part of the Family Council. The facility does not want to evict (R1); instead, it tries to stop the family's advocacy efforts. On May 23, 2025, between 09:30 AM and 10:50 AM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #3 (S1-S3). Three (3) out of the three (3) staff members could not validate this allegation. (S1-S3) denied any retaliation. (S1-S3) are aware that the incidents involving (R1) are not used for retaliation to serve for an eviction. (S1-S3) stated that they denied having retaliation due to (R1)’s family representatives’ involvement with the Family Council for Regency Palms. (S1-S3) stated the family’s involvement with the Family Council held monthly. These council meetings are specifically for residents and family members, and no Regency Palms personnel or staff are ever involved in these meetings. (S1) is notified when the meeting is scheduled and will promote it by posting in public spaces where visitors congregate. (S2-S3) stated they are not privileged to discuss any topics at these meetings, minutes a written record of a meeting, or capture key discussions, decisions, and action items. On May 23, 2025, between 11:00 AM and 11:10 AM, the Department interviewed a resident member identified as Resident #1 (R1). (R1) uttered an appreciation for living at the facility, highlighting the staff's friendly demeanor, who have consistently treated (R1) with kindness and respect. (R1) confidently stated that there had been no experience of mistreatment during (R1)'s stay. Furthermore, (R1) expressed surprise when asked about any eviction notice, indicating a complete lack of awareness regarding such a matter. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) On May 23, 2025, between 9:50 AM and 10:12 AM, the Department interviewed a witness member identified as Witness #1 the power of attorney for (R1). (W1) reiterated incidents that occurred with (R1) at the facility and felt that these incidents were reasons for the eviction, and perhaps the family representative’s advocate for (R1) is a retaliation for the eviction served to (R1) in April 2025. (W1) stated that they did not have demonstrative evidence or written communications, including emails and text messages, related to providing as retaliation for the family’s involvement with the Family Council. After reviewing the Physician's Report LIC 602A for (R1) (dated 08/19/24 and 02/12/25), Facility Resident Assessment (dated 04/23/25) revealed with (R1) is diagnosed with (NCD).

During the May 23, 2025, visit, the Department identified that the facility promotes the rights of its residents. To improve the environment, the facility posted the Resident Rights, Personal Rights, California Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly Complaint Poster, California Long Term Ombudsman Poster, and the Family Council Meeting Poster.

On 01/06/2025 and 04/18/2025, the Department received information indicating that video surveillance with an audio component was being used in four resident bedrooms (three shared and one private). On 04/23/2025 & 05/08/2025 the Department conducted a comprehensive review of facility operations and practices.

Further review of the admission agreement—specifically page 6 section “miscellaneous,” item 10.9—state “due to privacy of residents, residents will not have nanny cam’s in there apartment.” Contrary to these stated policies, the Department observed, during a facility tour, signage on rooms 302, 303, 305, and 502 indicating that video surveillance was active in those rooms. Interviews were conducted with the Administrator (A1) on April 23, 2025. A1 confirmed that video surveillance devices, including audio components, were installed in four resident rooms. A1 stated that the video surveillance was installed by residents' families and that facility staff did not have access to the video recordings.

The investigation consisted of the following: The department investigated the allegation mentioned in this complaint; and conducted interviews with staff (S1-S7) and residents (R1-R6) from 10:00am-2:00pm. The department received the following documents: Resident Roster (Dated: No Date), Staff Roster (Dated: 05/12/2025), Work Order for Emergency Pull Chord (Dated:05/23/2025), Resident Incident Details Report (Dated: 05/18/2025-05/24/2025), Admission Agreements (Dated:02/19/2024, 10/16/2024, 04/15/2023), ID Emergency Information (Dated: 9/25/2022, 02/18/2024), Physicians Report (Dated: 03/11/2025, 10/17/2023), and Resident Appraisal (Dated:09/1/2024, 10/14/2024, 02/01/2025) from the facility. Report Continued on LIC9099-C Substantiated The investigation revealed the following: Allegation-Staff did not provide adequate supervision to resident(s) in care. The details of the complaint alleged that an alarm was going off in a resident’s room from 9:00am -9:25am on 05/19/25, but no one came to see what the problem was or if the resident was in danger or needed care. On 5/23/25, from 10:00am-2:00pm, the department interviewed staff (S1-S7) and residents (R1-R6) regarding the allegation. 6 of 7 staff denied the allegation that the Staff did not provide adequate supervision to resident(s) in care. All staff stated that all residents are provided with adequate supervision and if assistance is needed, residents have the option of using the call buttons in their room, pendants, or the motion sensors would alert staff that the resident needs assistance. One staff was aware that room 302B was having problems with the emergency pull chord device. The department interviewed residents (R1-R6) about the allegation and 5 of 6 residents that were interviewed denied the allegation that Staff did not provide adequate supervision to resident(s) in care. The majority of residents interviewed stated that the staff are meeting their needs and are satisfied with the care and supervision they are receiving at the facility. The Department toured room 302B and pulled the emergency pull chord, the light was flashing, but no one came to assist. The department observed the reason no one came to assist was because the signal system was not transmitting an auditory signal to the care staff. The department reviewed the Resident Incident Details Report (Dated: 05/18/2025-05/24/2025) and observed that on 05/19/2025 between 7:02am-09:23am the device was in motion but was not communicating with staff. The staff provided the department with a work order (Dated: 05/23/2025) for room 302B to address the pull chord and verify that the connection is working. Based on observation, interviews conducted, and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the above allegation Staff did not provide adequate supervision to resident(s) in care, is found to be Substantiated. The emergency pull chord in the resident’s room was not working and poses a potential health and safety risk. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division (6) and chapter (8) are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Note: *Citations that are not cleared by the due date of 06/13/2025 will have a $100 fine assessed for each citation until it is cleared.

On May 23, 2025, the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing (CDSS/CCL) Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ernand Dabuet conducted an initial visit to gather information regarding the above allegations. LPA met with Fabiola Marciano, Executive Director, and explained the purpose of the visit. LPA was granted entry to the facility. The investigation consisted of interviews, a collection of records, and a tour of the facility. Interviews were conducted with staff members #1 to #3 (S1-S3) resident member #1 (R1) and witness #1 (W1). List of documents reviewed/obtained Faciltiy Resident Roster (dated 05/23/25), Personne Report LIC 500 (dated 05/12/25), (R1)'s Physician's Report LIC 602A (dated 08/19/24 and 02/12/25), Facility Resident Assessment (dated 04/23/25), Resident Lease Agreement (dated 8/24/24), Personal Rights LIC 603C (dated 08/24/24), 30-Day Notice of Termination of Residency Letter (dated 04/14/25), and Family Council Meetings and Follow-up Email Correspondences (dated 12/25/24, 02/12/25, 02/22/25, 04/08/25, 04/15/25 and 05/06/25) and other pertinent records associated with this investigation. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) Unsubstantiated INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: Allegation #1: Staff retaliated against resident resulting in eviction. The complaint alleges that the facility staff retaliated against a resident, leading to an eviction. Reports indicate that Regency Palms attempted to evict Resident #1 (R1) in a classic retaliation case. It appears that the facility is using unspecified incidents, which are common among residents with Major Neurocognitive Disorder (NCD), as justification for removing (R1). The family representative for (R1) is part of the Family Council. The facility does not want to evict (R1); instead, it tries to stop the family's advocacy efforts. On May 23, 2025, between 09:30 AM and 10:50 AM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #3 (S1-S3). Three (3) out of the three (3) staff members could not validate this allegation. (S1-S3) denied any retaliation. (S1-S3) are aware that the incidents involving (R1) are not used for retaliation to serve for an eviction. (S1-S3) stated that they denied having retaliation due to (R1)’s family representatives’ involvement with the Family Council for Regency Palms. (S1-S3) stated the family’s involvement with the Family Council held monthly. These council meetings are specifically for residents and family members, and no Regency Palms personnel or staff are ever involved in these meetings. (S1) is notified when the meeting is scheduled and will promote it by posting in public spaces where visitors congregate. (S2-S3) stated they are not privileged to discuss any topics at these meetings, minutes a written record of a meeting, or capture key discussions, decisions, and action items. On May 23, 2025, between 11:00 AM and 11:10 AM, the Department interviewed a resident member identified as Resident #1 (R1). (R1) uttered an appreciation for living at the facility, highlighting the staff's friendly demeanor, who have consistently treated (R1) with kindness and respect. (R1) confidently stated that there had been no experience of mistreatment during (R1)'s stay. Furthermore, (R1) expressed surprise when asked about any eviction notice, indicating a complete lack of awareness regarding such a matter. On May 23, 2025, between 9:50 AM and 10:12 AM, the Department interviewed a witness member identified as Witness #1 the power of attorney for (R1). (W1) reiterated incidents that occurred with (R1) at the facility and felt that these incidents were reasons for the eviction, and perhaps the family representative’s advocate for (R1) is a retaliation for the eviction served to (R1) in April 2025. (W1) stated that they did not have demonstrative evidence or written communications, including emails and text messages, related to providing as retaliation for the family’s involvement with the Family Council. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) After reviewing the Physician's Report LIC 602A for (R1) (dated 08/19/24 and 02/12/25), Facility Resident Assessment (dated 04/23/25) revealed with (R1) is diagnosed with (NCD). A review of the Resident Lease Agreement (dated 8/24/24) included Eviction, Family Council, House Rules, Complaint & Concerns, Complaint Grievance Policy procedures. Personal Rights LIC 603C (dated 08/24/24) acknowledged by (R1) with signature. 30 Day Notice of Termination of Residency Letter (dated 04/14/25), and Family Council Meetings and Follow-up Email Correspondences (dated 12/25/24, 02/12/25, 02/22/25, 04/08/25, 04/15/25 and 05/06/25) revealed no written action of retaliation. During the May 23, 2025, visit, the Department identified that the facility promotes the rights of its residents. To improve the environment, the facility posted the Resident Rights, Personal Rights, California Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly Complaint Poster, California Long Term Ombudsman Poster, and the Family Council Meeting Poster. Based on the information gathered, there is not enough evidence to support the allegation mentioned above. Allegation #2: Illegal Eviction. The complaint alleges that the facility issued an illegal eviction to Resident #1 (R1). It reported that the facility failed to issue a legal eviction because the notice was defective. The notice failed to state any of the five legal reasons for the eviction and failed to provide details required by Title 22 Regulations. On May 23, 2025, between 09:30 AM and 10:50 AM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #3 (S1-S3). Three (3) out of the three (3) staff members confirmed that a 30-Day Notice of Termination of Residency Letter (dated 04/14/25) was issued to Resident #1 (R1) along with the family representative and Community Care Licensing (CCL). According to (S1-S3) this Eviction Notice has now been terminated as of May 19, 2025, and is no longer valid. On May 23, 2025, between 11:00 AM and 11:10 AM, the Department interviewed a resident member identified as Resident #1 (R1). (R1) asserted was completely unaware of any eviction notice that had been issued by the facility staff. On May 23, 2025, between 9:50 AM and 10:12 AM, the Department interviewed a witness member identified as Witness #1 (W1) the power of attorney for (R1). (W1) acknowledged a 30-Day Notice of Termination (dated 04/15/25) was received. (W1) addressed that the Notice of Termination dated April 14, 2025, has become invalid. (Evaluation Report continues LIC 9099-C) A review of (R1)’s 30-Day Notice of Termination Letter (dated 04/15/25) and Fed Ex Receipt (dated 04/15/25) was sent to (R1), family representative and an email receipt to Community Care Licensing (CCL). 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 allegations. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. Therefore, the allegations are Unsubstantiated.

Reassessment (dated 04/01/25). Concise Care Group Placement emails (dated 02/14/25 to 04/18/25). Interviews were conducted with three (3) staff (S1-S3), including the Executive Director, and two residents (R1-R2). Unsubstantiated Regarding the allegation: Licensee initiated the eviction process in retaliation against the resident. It is alleged that the client received an eviction letter on April 15, 2025, instructing them to vacate the facility by May 14, 2025. On April 23, 2025, LPA interviewed two residents (R1- R2); both were unable to answer the questions posed fully. Additionally, on the same date, the LPA interviewed three staff members (S1, S2, and S3), all of whom denied the allegation that the Licensee initiated the eviction process in retaliation against the residents. The staff members stated that the eviction was issued following a reassessment that determined the resident required a higher level of care and supervision. On April 23, 2025, between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM, LPA conducted a records review of the reassessment for resident #1 (R1), dated April 1, 2025, indicated that R1's condition had changed, necessitating a higher level of care and supervision. On 05/21/2025, the department reviewed the facility's progress notes dated March 1, 10, 2025, and April 10 and 13, 2025, indicating that R1 had been very aggressive towards other residents and staff by punching and scratching them. On 04/15/2025, LPA confirmed that a 30-day eviction notice and supporting documents were faxed to Community Care Licensing within five days, by the California Code of Regulations, Title 22. It was determined that the facility could not meet R1's needs due to the requirement for a higher level of care. Based on interviews and records reviewed, there was not sufficient evidence to support the allegation. 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, therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. There were no deficiencies cited.

The complaint details alleges that Resident #1 (R1) experienced multiple falls while under care. Reports show that (R1), who resides in the memory care unit, has fallen four times in the past two months and has sustained injuries on (R1)'s body. No additional information has been provided regarding this situation. Resident #1 (R1) was admitted to Regency Palms Senior Living on February 22, 2025, as indicated by their Resident Lease Agreement (dated 02/20/25) and Identification and Emergency Information (dated 02/21/25). On March 31, 2025, (R1) experienced a fall while receiving home health care from St. Victoria Home Health. The incident was reported by med-tech staff at 6:00 PM. Subsequently, on April 27, 2025, at 6:40 AM, (R1) encountered another fall that caused head injury. On May 2, 2025, between 09:30 AM and 11:30 AM, the Department interviewed a staff member identified as Staff #1, (S1) the executive director. (S1) confirmed that multiple unwitnessed falls have occurred with (R1) in the past couple of months. (S1) verified the fall dates of March 31, 2025, and April 27, 2025. (S1) claimed that the family representative for (R1) was notified of each incident and received immediate medical attention at St. Mary’s Hospital. It was further stated that (R1) was reassessed with a Resident Assessment on April 29, 2025; however, a fall management plan designed to minimize the risk of falls was not included. On May 2, 2025, between 11:02 AM and 11:10 AM, the Department interviewed a witness identified as Witness #1 (W1), the family representative for (R1).

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.

  1. What is included in the monthly rate, and what costs extra?
  2. Who is awake overnight, and how do residents ask for help?
  3. Which rooms does the non-ambulatory approval cover, and what transfer support is provided?
  4. What could change whether someone can stay here?
  5. Can we see a bedroom and share a meal during a visit?
