Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 4/25/25 at 12:40pm Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Kevin Gould and Cynthia Tamayo conducted an unannounced case management inspection to address previous incident reports and deficiencies in facility operation. LPAs met with administrator, Cleopatra Gardiner and together discussed observations and incident reports. Upon entering the LPA Gould observed bleach and cleaning supplies unsecured from residents in care. LPA Gould also observed one large kitchen knife unsecured in a kitchen drawer with no lock. LPAs conducted file review and observed inconsistencies with pre-placement evaluations and resident's physician reports as the needs and services required for residents were not consistent with physician evaluations. Based on LPA observations and resident file review, LPAs have determined, based on resident needs, there must be awake night staff available at the facility to meet resident needs during overnight hours. Staff performing overnight duties must be awake and be present on the facility lower level during all overnight hours identified as between 10:00 pm to 6:00 am. Additionally, the department has determined the facility did not meet resident needs for care and supervision for residents present with documented behaviors such as wandering, elopement and aggressive behaviors as identified by residents physician reports. This was documented by an incident report dated 4/11/25 where a resident eloped from the facility and the resident's physician report indicated that resident is unable to leave the facility unassisted. Report Continued on LIC 9099-C. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, the following deficiencies are cited during today's inspection. An Immediate $500 civil penalty was issued during today's inspection. Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report and appeal rights were left at the facility.
