FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:
  • Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.
  • Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.

Health-Related Services & Records

Three (3) resident files were reviewed. Files contained required documentation, including Admission Agreements, signed consents, Physician’s Reports documenting TB results and ambulatory status, and Resident Rights acknowledgments.

During record review, LPA observed that R1 had a physician’s order for half bed rails; however, full bed rails were in use at the time of inspection. LPA also observed that R1 and R2 did not have physician’s orders on file authorizing the use of half bed rails.

Medications for three (3) residents were reviewed. Medications were centrally stored and secured in a locked cabinet near the kitchen. During the medication record review, LPA observed that the Medication Administration Records (MARs) contained missing administration notations. LPA also observed that staff administered medication when residents’ blood pressure and/or heart rate readings were outside the parameters specified in the physician’s orders. The physician’s orders directed staff to withhold the medication when the specified blood pressure or heart rate parameters were met; however, the medication was administered. Therefore, the physician’s medication orders were not followed as prescribed.

Disaster Preparedness

Last fire/earthquake drill was conducted on September 14, 2026, with logs available. LIC 610D Emergency Disaster Plan was in process of being updated. Emergency supplies (water, food, flashlights, batteries, first aid) were observed.

Personnel Records & Training

Five (5) staff files were reviewed and contained required documentation, including criminal record clearances, current CPR/First Aid certifications, and TB screenings. Administrator Jerelyn Toparco’s Administrator Certificate was observed to be current and valid through May 16, 2028. Staff training records were not available for review at the time of the inspection.

An exit interview was conducted with Corinthian Toparco. During the inspection, deficiencies were observed and cited on the attached LIC 809D/809C in accordance with Title 22, Division 6 regulations. A copy of this report, LIC 809D/809C, and appeal rights will be provided.
