Inspection Report Summary for Mercy McMahon Terrace

The California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, conducted a series of unannounced visits to Mercy McMahon Terrace (facility number 340312763) during 2021 and 2022. The initial unannounced inspection on 12 13 2021, led by Licensing Program Analyst Avelina Martinez, focused on the physical plant, resident census, and the facility’s Covid‑19 and construction mitigation plans. The report noted that the facility was clean, all residents were accounted for, and that the current plan of operation and hospice waiver met regulatory standards, resulting in no deficiencies cited.

Subsequent case‑management visits—12 13 2021, 12 29 2021, and 3 4 2022—served primarily to review and revise the facility’s written plan of operation. In the first two visits the facility submitted revised plans; both reports documented no regulatory deficiencies. However, the 1 6 2022 visit revealed that the updated plan had not met Title 22 requirements. Deficiencies were cited for the absence of a clear description of care‑level determination, the lack of point‑value assignments, and the omission of detailed rate‑increase disclosures. A Plan of Correction deadline of 1 20 2022 was issued. A second unannounced visit that same day, with staff member Dee Aponte, reiterated these deficiencies and confirmed that the plan still did not meet state standards. These recurring issues indicate a pattern of difficulty in maintaining an approved plan of operation, despite the facility’s otherwise solid compliance in other areas.

Throughout the inspection period, the facility consistently demonstrated compliance with physical plant, fire safety, sanitation, and visitor screening protocols. The repeated focus on the plan of operation suggests that, while the facility’s day‑to‑day operations are sound, documentation and regulatory communication remain a concern. The Department’s ongoing case‑management oversight and the issuance of corrective action plans reflect a standard approach to resolving the identified deficiencies while ensuring resident safety and regulatory compliance.
