Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe environment for the residents, staff, and visitors when the fire protection system (a combination of equipment and technologies designed to detect, alert, control, and extinguish fires automatically or manually, aiming to save lives, minimize property damage, and ensure safe evacuation) stopped functioning from 12/31/25 to 1/2/26, and the facility failed to notify the California Department of Public Health (CDPH, a government agency for the State of California in charge of protecting the public's health and helps shape positive health outcomes for individuals, families and communities) and the California Department of Healthcare Access and Information (HCAI, a government agency for the State of California in charge of safety regulations for health care facilities, provide financial assistance to health care institutions, collecting healthcare data and more). This failure placed residents, staff, and visitors at risk for injury and/or death in the event of a fire. During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/2/26, at 2:13 p.m., with the Maintenance Supervisor (MAINS), in the Station 1 hallway, the fire door was closed. The MAINS stated, all fire exit doors in the facility were closed since 12/31/25 as a precaution. The MAINS stated, the fire protection system stopped functioning on 12/31/25 and he initiated a fire watch (a log documenting the inspection of the building every hour, looking for signs of smoke and/or fire) with the assistance of other facility staff. The MAINS stated, he was not sure if the facility notified CDPH or HCAI of the fire protection system malfunction. The MAINS stated, the situation is considered an unusual occurrence and must be reported to CDPH and HCAI. During an interview on 1/2/26, at 3:15 p.m., with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated the facility did not inform CDPH and HCAI when the fire protection system malfunctioned on 12/31/25.
