What inspectors found at Ocean Ridge Post Acute
Tap a finding to read the summary. Each one is written from the government report linked under it.
April 2024: F689 (severity G) after repeated falls by a resident under one-to-one supervision
During an April 2024 federal monitoring survey, inspectors found the facility did not provide adequate supervision to three of six residents reviewed for accident hazards. According to the 2567 report, Resident 67 had a physician's order from November 2023 for a one-to-one sitter, and staff described the resident as a high fall risk. The report lists falls with injury while that supervision was in place, including cut lips, cuts to both eyebrows, a broken nose, a large hematoma (a pool of clotted blood) on the forehead and two subdural hematomas (bleeding near the brain), the second on top of the first.
Inspectors found that on February 29, 2024, the assigned sitter, CNA 45, left the resident alone to use the bathroom and then heard a loud noise. The resident was found on the floor and sent to a hospital. The director of nursing told inspectors no incident reports were filed for the unwitnessed falls and, asked how they happened under one-to-one supervision, said, "I'm not sure." On April 11, 2024, the surveyor saw the sitter charting in the hallway with the bed curtain closed and the resident out of view.
The report also states Resident 62, who had severe cognitive impairment and a history of falls, was found with the bed raised instead of in a low position, and a non-slip wheelchair cushion was not ordered until April 2024. Inspectors observed CNA 33 move Resident 3 alone with a mechanical lift, although facility policy requires two staff. The deficiency was cited as F689 (accident hazards and supervision) at severity G.
October 2023: Class A citation and F580 (severity G) after abnormal lab results were not followed up
In August 2023, CDPH investigated a complaint and found that licensed nurses did not follow up when a physician failed to respond to abnormal blood test results. According to the citation, Resident 1 was an 86-year-old man with kidney disease and diabetes who had an indwelling urinary catheter (a tube that drains urine). On November 5, 2021, his white blood cell count was 15.90, above the normal range. The results were faxed to the physician that day and again on November 6, with no documented response.
The department determined that nurses did not call the medical director when the physician did not respond within an hour, as two facility policies required. Inspectors found a STAT urine test and new blood work were not ordered until November 10, and by November 11 the white count had risen to 20.51. IV antibiotics were then ordered, but on November 12 the resident was sent to an acute care hospital with bleeding from the urethra and a white count of 45.0. According to the citation, the hospital diagnosed severe sepsis (a life-threatening reaction to infection), septic shock, a bladder infection and acute kidney failure. He was later treated at a second hospital for a Klebsiella urinary tract infection.
LVN 1 told inspectors she did not recall whether she notified the physician of the November 5 results. According to the citation, the assistant director of nursing said the medical director should be called when a physician does not answer within 30 minutes. CDPH issued a Class A citation with a $20,000 penalty, and the federal 2567 report cited F580 (notification of changes) at severity G.
September 2023: Class A citation, F698 (severity J), F600 (severity E) and F609 (severity D) after missed dialysis
CDPH visited the facility on August 1, 2023, to investigate a facility-reported allegation of resident-to-resident abuse and found problems with dialysis care. According to the citation, Resident 1, a 56-year-old man with end stage kidney disease and heart failure, needed hemodialysis (a treatment that filters waste from the blood) every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. He refused dialysis on July 15, 2023. Inspectors found the facility did not hold an interdisciplinary team meeting about the refusal and did not tell the dialysis center.
The department determined staff also did not get Resident 1 to his July 18 appointment. LVN 2, the day nurse, told inspectors she asked the resident whether he had gone and did not check the dialysis communication forms. She learned from the dialysis center on July 19 that he had missed it. The night nurse did not report the missed treatment, and the physician was not told. According to the citation, Resident 1 had a change of condition and died on July 19, 2023, after six days without dialysis. Nursing notes show staff started CPR that morning before paramedics took over.
CDPH issued a Class A citation with a $25,000 penalty. The 2567 report cited F698 (dialysis) at severity J and states the facility's immediate jeopardy removal plan included reviewing the records of all dialysis residents and training nurses to notify dialysis centers of refusals. Inspectors also cited F600 at severity E because Resident 1 threatened his roommate and struck another resident while unsupervised, and F609 at severity D because the facility reported a verbal abuse allegation against a CNA the next day instead of within two hours.
March 2023: F880 (severity H) after delays in responding to a possible scabies outbreak
Inspectors investigating a complaint in March and April 2023 found the facility did not follow infection control steps to stop a possible scabies outbreak (a contagious skin infestation by mites that causes intense itching). According to the 2567 report, a CNA told the facility on March 27, 2023, that she had tested positive for scabies, and the infection preventionist said she did not learn of it until public health called on March 30. Two roommates on the subacute unit, Resident 1 and Resident 2, had rashes.
The report states a public health epidemiologist recommended on March 31 that the facility do skin scrapings and treat all 87 residents and the staff with permethrin within 24 hours. Inspectors found the facility had no skin scraping kits, the dermatologist was not available and the pharmacy did not have enough cream. By April 5, only 20 residents on the subacute unit had been treated, and residents on the skilled nursing unit had not. Inspectors saw no contact precaution signs or protective equipment carts outside affected rooms, and a CNA entered a resident's room without protective gear.
According to the report, the facility kept no line list of cases, did not deep clean the two shower rooms or rooms with suspected cases, and did not treat staff on the day shift of April 3 and 4. Inspectors identified five residents with possible symptoms, including a new rash found on April 2. The deficiency was cited as F880 (infection prevention and control) at severity H.

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.
