The inspector’s account

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sabrina Calzada arrived unannounced to conduct a case management inspection and met with Danny Torgersen, Administrator and Kayla Peria, Director of Care and Admissions.

LPA stated the reason for today's inspection was to follow up on an email notification received from a related state agency following an inspection conducted on March 16, 2026. The email reads in part, as follows:

During the inspection, two emergency fire exits were found to be obstructed. The first exit, situated in the Memory Care (MC) area leading to the MC courtyard, was blocked by chairs and a rolling cart. The second exit, located in the MC courtyard and providing access to the front of the facility, was obstructed by an outdoor glass table.

Today, LPA and managers toured the Memory Care Unit and observed all emergency exits to be free of any blockages; however, there was a rolling cart near the interior exit door. The managers explained that on March 16, 2026, a resident bench and rolling cart were placed in front of the interior exit door, and one of the glass patio tables had been moved and was blocking the outside emergency exit door. Managers stated that staff know not to block doors and residents may have moved furniture and were not sure how the furniture was moved prior to the inspection on March 16, 2026 (9:45 am), but a lot of furniture was moved due to new flooring being recently installed. The Director of Maintenance stated staff may have temporarily blocked the interior emergency exit door, if a resident was trying to leave from the secured memory care unit. All managers stated that training is conducted regularly to ensure staff are aware that an emergency exit can never be blocked and the Fire Marshall conducts an annual inspection.

Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, the following (1) deficiency is issued on the 809D page. Exit interview. Copy of report and appeal rights provided.
