Facility Evaluation Report

On December 4, 2024, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Michael Hood, Angela Hood, and Cassie Mikkelson met with Administrator Parveen Saroay of Fair Oaks Estates Inc, for a case management visit to follow up regarding a substantiated allegation that a resident sexually assaulted other residents in care.

On May 4, 2023, the Department concluded a complaint investigation alleging that a resident (R1) sexually assaulted other residents in care. The allegation was substantiated and the licensee was cited for violating California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22, § 87464 Basic Services (f) Basic services shall at a minimum include: (1) Care and supervision as defined in Section 87101(c)(3) and Health and Safety Code section 1569.2(c), and California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22, § 87468.1 Personal Rights of Residents in All Facilities (a) Residents in all residential care facilities for the elderly shall have all of the following personal rights: (1) To be accorded dignity in their personal relationships with staff, residents, and other persons.

On May 4, 2023, the issuance of an immediate civil penalty for $500 was issued and Licensee was informed that a civil penalty per Health and Safety Code Section §1569.49(f) is under review and a determination is pending.

The Department has concluded an analysis and has determined that a civil penalty is warranted for physical abuse. Per Welfare and Institutions Code Section 15610.63(e), “’Physical abuse’ means any of the following: (e) Sexual assault, that means any of the following (1) Sexual battery, as defined in Section 243.4 of the Penal Code.” This is evidenced by the facility management being aware of R1’s sexually abusive behaviors towards others and not properly supervising R1, resulting in R1 sexually assaulting four (4) residents.
