March 2024: F919 (severity L) after the resident call light system stopped working for three days
According to the 2567 report, the facility's call light system stopped working on March 9, 2024 at 3:15 a.m. When the survey team entered the facility on March 12 at 7:20 a.m., inspectors heard several residents yelling, screaming and banging to ask for help. Inspectors found the facility did not give nine of 62 residents another way to call staff from March 9 until the morning of March 12.
The report states that Resident 58 kept having burning pain in the left leg, rated 9 out of 10, because staff did not respond to calls for help and pain medication. Inspectors found four residents waited 30 minutes to an hour for help, including one who needed to use the restroom and one who needed to be turned. One resident told inspectors she was petrified that she could not get help in an emergency, and another used her personal phone to call staff. According to the report, on March 11 a resident fell and her roommate found her on the floor and called for help.
Inspectors identified an immediate jeopardy on March 12, 2024 and removed it on March 14 after verifying the facility's removal plan, according to the report. The plan included manual call bells, rounds every 15 minutes for residents who could not use a bell, staff training and repair of the system. The deficiency was cited as F919 (severity L), which covers the resident call system.
October 2023: Class A citation and F678 (severity J) after CPR was given with an oxygen mask instead of rescue breaths
According to the citation, CDPH made an unannounced visit on August 25, 2023 to investigate a complaint about a resident's death. On July 18, 2023 at about 7:35 a.m., CNA 1 found Resident 1 unresponsive in bed while passing out breakfast trays. LVN 1 told inspectors the resident had no pulse and no rise and fall of the chest, and staff started chest compressions and called 911.
CDPH found that during CPR, LVN 3 placed a non-rebreather mask (an oxygen mask that staff told inspectors is meant for people who can breathe on their own) on the resident and ran oxygen at 15 liters per minute while the resident was not breathing. The facility's policy and the American Heart Association guideline call for cycles of 30 chest compressions and two breaths, given with a bag-valve mask (Ambu bag) or a CPR shield. The director of nursing told inspectors, "Staff should have followed the P&P but didn't." The department determined the result was a lack of oxygen and blood flow to the resident's body tissues and organs. Paramedics took the resident to a hospital at 7:43 a.m., and the citation states the resident died there two days later.
CDPH issued a Class A citation for patient care and assessed a $20,000 penalty. According to the citation record, the citation was appealed. The 2567 report cited F678 (severity J), which covers CPR.

Cal Health Find lists 1 intake for Ocean Pointe Healthcare Center from 2023 through October 30, 2026 that included an allegation CDPH classified as sexual abuse (0 from complaints and 1 reported by the facility itself). CDPH substantiated a sexual abuse allegation in 1 of them.

| Year | Intakes with a sexual abuse allegation | Substantiated |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 1 | 1 |
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.
