- E Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure that all residents were kept safe from hazards when a treatment cart was left unlocked and unattended inside the facility and the external perimeter of the facility property was found to have numerous safety hazards. In addition, the facility did not correctly assess and create care plan risks for residents who smoke and apply personalized strategies for smoking risks (Resident 17, 8, 11, 13, and 4). These failures had the potential for residents to be placed at risk for hazards and could result in inconsistent staff oversight for smoking safety, and inconvenienced other residents in their free use of common areas.
- E Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to contain the spread of COVID-19 infection between staff and residents. This failure allowed an outbreak to occur which affected 59 people who became positive for COVID-19 as of 9/4/23.
- D Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation and interview the facility failed to ensure residents were treated with respect and dignity by staff when one resident (Resident 8) expressed concerns, one resident (Resident 14) requested assistance from staff, and other staff and residents overheard personal care concerns for one resident (Resident 12). This failure had the potential for residents to be fearful of making requests and their rights violated.

- D Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food that accommodates resident allergies, intolerances, and preferences, as well as appealing options.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 3 of 3 sampled residents (Resident 1, Resident 2 & Resident 3) were not provided a meal or drink substitute of their preference when: Resident 1 & Resident 2 did not receive their preferred choice of soy milk with their meal. Resident 3 received chicken and gravy instead of fish for lunch instead of his documented preference of a hamburger. This deficient practice did not accommodate Resident's 1, 2 & 3's food preferences and placed them at risk of altered nutrition.

- D Give the resident's representative the ability to exercise the resident's rights.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to inform a Responsible Party (RP) for one of one sampled residents, (Resident 1) of a change in antipsychotic (a type of prescription psychiatric medication) medication order. This failure violated the rights of Resident 1's RP.
- D Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to create a comprehensive person-centered care plan for two of two sampled residents (2, 3) reviewed for psychotropic medication care plan. This failure had the potential to not identify and meet the needs of two residents.
- D Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to document an appropriate reason for prescribing an antipsychotic medication for two of three sampled residents (1,2). This failure had the potential to harm Resident 1 and 2.

CMS expects 4.02 hours a day for residents as sick as this home's (its case-mix figure). The staffing star compares the two.
Staffing by quarter, from daily payroll records
Every nursing home sends CMS its staff hours for each day (the Payroll Based Journal). Here they are added up by quarter. The latest quarter is the one behind the figures above. In January to March 2026, nursing staff hours per resident were 4.36 on weekdays and 3.57 on weekends, 18% lower on weekends (nationally, weekends ran 15% lower). Contract or agency staff worked 0.0% of nursing hours, against 5.3% nationally. Total nursing hours per resident went from 3.83 in April to June 2025 to 4.13 in January to March 2026.
| Quarter | All nursing staff | Registered nurses | Weekdays | Weekends | Contract staff share | Days with no RN hours | Residents a day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan to Mar 2026 | 4.13 | 0.48 | 4.36 | 3.57 | 0.0% | 0 of 90 | 122 |
| Jul to Sep 2025 | 3.89 | 0.36 | 4.07 | 3.43 | 0.0% | 0 of 92 | 115 |
| Apr to Jun 2025 | 3.83 | 0.37 | 3.97 | 3.49 | 0.0% | 0 of 91 | 119 |
| United States, Jan to Mar 2026 | 3.75 | 0.62 | 3.92 | 3.33 | 5.3% | 0.5% of days | |
| California, Jan to Mar 2026 | 4.36 | 0.59 | 4.52 | 3.97 | 2.3% | 0.5% of days |
Hours per resident per day: staff hours in the quarter divided by resident days (the daily census CMS derives from resident assessments). Registered nurses include the director of nursing and RNs with administrative duties; aides include nurse aides in training and medication aides, as in CMS's own staffing measure. How these are calculated.
