Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

LPA reviewed the Arial device activity reports for September and October 2025, which included the times that the devices were activated, from which room, and when staff responded. LPA identified residents who experienced response times over 20 minutes, according to the reports. Nine residents were interviewed about the response times when they activated their Arial call system, and at least 3 recalled waiting a long time for staff to come to assist them. Based on information obtained from facility staff and residents, this allegation is substantiated. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Deficiency of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22 is cited on a following page.

  • 87411(a)Type B

    PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTSFacility personnel shall at all times be sufficient in numbers, and competent to provide the services necessary to meet resident needs. This requirement is not met, as significant delayed response times were experienced by residents in September and Ocober 2025 when they activated the emergency signal system in their rooms. This is reflected on facility's device activity reports, and verified by residents. Licensee failed to ensure timely response times when residents called for staff assistance, which posed a potential health, safety or personal rights risk.

  • 87464(f)Type B

    BASIC SERVICESBasic services shall...include care andsupervision as defined in Section 87101(c)(3) & HSC 1569.2(c)...the facility assumes responsibility for, or provides or promises to provide... ongoing assistance with ADLs without which the resident's physical health, mental health, safety, or welfare would be endangered. This requirement is not met, as evidenced by Acknowledgement Form given to clients, which states that clients should call 9-1-1 in case of a life threatening emergency. Licensee cannot absolve itself from responsibility to meet safety needs of clients.
