July 2025: Class A citation and F689 (severity G) after a resident fell from a mechanical lift
CDPH made an unannounced visit on May 28, 2025, to investigate a complaint about quality of care. According to the citation, Resident 1 was a 67-year-old man who depended on staff for transfers and bathing. He told inspectors two staff normally helped him with the Hoyer lift (a mechanical lift for moving residents).
CDPH found that at 9:45 a.m. on May 26, 2025, CNA 4 tried to move Resident 1 from his bed to a shower gurney with the Hoyer lift without a second person, although facility policy called for two-person assistance. According to the citation, the lift tilted onto its side, its top caught on the gurney, and Resident 1 fell. The back of his head and neck hit the floor, and his right lower leg was pinned between the gurney and the lift. Resident 1 told inspectors CNA 4 said the facility was short-staffed.
According to the citation, he was sent to an acute care hospital that day and monitored for a closed head injury, leg swelling and blunt trauma to the neck. Because he took blood thinners, the emergency physician ordered a full workup for possible brain bleeding, fractures and spinal injury. A head CT scan showed no bleeding around the brain, and he was discharged in stable condition that evening. CDPH issued a Class A citation with a $25,000 penalty, and the related federal 2567 report cited F689 at severity G.
April 2025: F760 (severity K) after two residents received extra doses of an anemia medication
Inspectors conducted a certification survey at the facility in April 2025. The 2567 report states that physician orders for Residents 35 and 89 said to hold their Epogen injections (epoetin alfa, a medication for anemia, or too few red blood cells) when their hemoglobin was above 10 grams per deciliter.
According to the report, Resident 35 received 19 unnecessary doses between February 18 and April 17, 2025, with a hemoglobin level of 11.5, and Resident 89 received three unnecessary doses in January and February 2025, with levels of 12.3 and 12.9. Inspectors found the facility had no system to make sure the hold orders were followed. The report states this put both residents at risk of side effects such as an abnormally high red blood cell count, blood clots, stroke and heart attack, with the potential for serious harm or death.
The 2567 report states inspectors called an Immediate Jeopardy on April 18, 2025, and removed it on April 19 after verifying the facility's removal plan. Under the plan, the director of nursing assessed both residents, who showed no distress or signs of an adverse reaction, and their physicians and the pharmacist were notified. Resident 35's order was clarified so Epogen would be given at the dialysis center based on lab results. Licensed nurses were trained on following medication parameters, and the nurses involved received one-on-one training following disciplinary action. The survey cited F760 (freedom from significant medication errors) at severity K.
November 2023: F684 (severity J) after a resident missed insulin and an anti-rejection drug for eight days
Inspectors investigated a complaint at the facility in November 2023. The 2567 report states Resident 1 had type 2 diabetes and a history of kidney and pancreas transplants, and was readmitted from an acute care hospital on November 22, 2023. The hospital discharge summary called for continuing insulin aspart on a sliding scale, a dose based on the blood sugar reading.
According to the report, RN 2 did not reconcile (check against the hospital orders) Resident 1's insulin or tacrolimus, a drug that keeps the body from rejecting a transplanted organ, at readmission, and the primary care physician and nurse practitioner did not review the discharge summary. Inspectors found Resident 1 received neither medication from November 22 to November 29, eight days. The report states this could have led to hospitalization for uncontrolled blood sugar, rejection of the transplanted kidney and pancreas, or death.
The 2567 report states inspectors identified an Immediate Jeopardy on November 30, 2023, and removed it on December 1 after accepting the facility's removal plan. Under the plan, staff called the physician on November 29, reconciled the orders and restarted the insulin, and tacrolimus resumed on November 30. The facility also ordered monitoring for signs of graft rejection every shift for 14 days, retrained RN 2 one-on-one, and set up daily review of medication orders for admissions and readmissions. The survey cited F684 (quality of care) at severity J.

|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 3 | 0 |

Warning signs include bruising or bleeding in the genital area or inner thighs, a new genital infection, torn or stained underclothing, and a resident who suddenly fears a particular staff member or resists being bathed or changed. If you suspect sexual abuse, call 911 or local police first, ask that the resident not be bathed before a medical exam, and then report it to CDPH and the long-term care ombudsman.

What this record means for your family
California uses classes for state citations. Under Health and Safety Code section 1424 ↗, a Class AA citation is a Class A violation that CDPH determined was a direct proximate cause of a resident’s death. A Class A citation means CDPH found an imminent danger, or a substantial probability, that death or serious physical harm would result. Class B covers violations with a direct or immediate relationship to residents’ health, safety or security.
Federal deficiencies carry a letter from A to L. G, H and I mean inspectors found actual harm to residents; J, K and L mean immediate jeopardy, the most serious level. F600 is the federal rule that residents be free from abuse and neglect; F609 and F610 cover reporting and investigating allegations; F689 covers accidents and supervision; F686 covers pressure injuries.
Warning signs worth asking about: unexplained bruises or fractures, new bed sores, sudden weight loss or dehydration, a resident who becomes fearful or withdrawn around certain staff, and calls that go unanswered.
