Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nacole Patterson conducted an unannounced case management visit. LPA identified themselves and met with Assisted Living Director Michelle England and Wellness Manager Jessica Mikkola to discuss the purpose of the visit. Today's visit was in response to a self reported medication error that occurred on 09/13/2025. Staff interviews and records review showed that Resident 1 (R1) did not experience any injuries or adverse reactions due to receiving a dose of a discontinued medication. The facility conducted an internal investigation which revealed that the Medication Technician (Med Tech) did not verify the order when administering the medication. The facility contacted R1's responsible party and primary care physician regarding the error, and notified the Department per requirements. Due to a repeat violation, deficiencies are cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (refer to the attached LIC 9099-D page). A Repeat Civil Penalty totaling $250 was assessed/charged to Licensee (refer to the LIC421-FC page). A Plan of Correction was jointly developed with the licensee. An exit interview was conducted with Michelle England, Assisted Living Director and Jessica Mikkola, Wellness Manager, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided.
