Follow-up·February 25, 2026

On 2/25/2026 at 3:00PM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) G. Luk and K. Nguyen arrived unannounced to conduct a case management visit to follow up facility’s inclusion of a Bed Bug Addendum in resident’s admission agreement. LPAs met with Executive Director, Anthony Garcia and informed him the reason for the visit. LPAs reviewed the facility’s current admission agreement/contract dated 1/9/2026. This includes Appendix J Bed Bug Addendum which reads, “As such, you shall be responsible for any damages incurred by us as a result of such infestation, including but not limited to the cost of treatment for the Community and any surrounding units as recommended by a qualified and licensed pest control company…” Per regulation 87468.1(a)(2), resident shall be “...accorded safe, healthful and comfortable accommodations, furnishings and equipment.” Additionally, under regulation 87303(a), “the facility shall be clean, safe, sanitary and in good repair at all times.” Therefore, it is the facility’s responsibility to ensure residents are provided with safe, healthful, and comfortable accommodations which includes bed bug eradication. The cost cannot be transferred to the residents in care. An admission agreement shall not contain any written or oral agreements to waive facility responsibility for 'the provision of safe and healthful facilities, equipment and accommodations.' The deficiency was observed (see LIC 809D) and cited from the California Code of Regulation, Title 22. Failure to correct the deficiency may result in civil penalties. Exit interview conducted. A copy of this report and appeal rights provided.
