Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Hood arrived at the care home and met with Administrator, Gary Nichols, to conduct a case management inspection to follow-up regarding information obtained during previous visit conducted on June 16, 2026.

During visit, LPA reviewed an Admissions Agreement for resident (R1) which states “Hospice Rate (…) per day for the 1 st 10 days. The rest of the month is included in the first 10 days. No prorating.” Interview with Administrator indicated that residents who pass away while receiving hospice services are given refunds if they pass away within the ten (10) days in which they made the Hospice Rate payments. Administrator stated that, if the resident passes away outside the Hospice Rate ten (10) time period, they are not issued a refund. Per Health and Safety Code §1569.652(c), “ A refund of any fees paid in advance covering the time after the resident’s personal property has been removed from the facility shall be issued to the individual, individuals, or entity contractually responsible for the fees or, if the deceased resident paid the fees, to the resident’s estate, within 15 days after the personal property is removed.” Per Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, Section 87507(h)(4), “The admission agreement shall not contain the following: Any provision that violates the rights of any residents including but not limited to those specified in Section 87468 and in Health and Safety Code section 1569 et seq.”
