Inspection Report Summary for Silvergate Rancho Bernardo
Silvergate Rancho Bernardo (facility number 374604323) has consistently met the Department’s licensing requirements through a series of unannounced visits between January 2021 and May 2022. Each inspection—whether a routine 1‑year review or a case‑management check—ended with no deficiencies cited. The staff, led by Executive Director Sondra Brakeville, regularly provided the Department with updated plans, including the LIC 808 COVID‑19 Mitigation Plan, and demonstrated readiness to comply with statutes governing resident health and safety.
Several unannounced case‑management visits addressed self‑reported resident falls. In May 2021, resident #1 fell on 5/15 and sustained an injury, while resident #2 fell on 6/2 and later passed away on 6/5 after receiving hospice care. The May 2022 reports described a fall on 5/7 and another on 5/13, both resulting in hospital transport and subsequent hospice treatment for one resident. In each instance, the facility promptly documented the incidents, notified all required parties, and implemented appropriate follow‑up care, with no regulatory deficiencies identified.
Across all visits, the Department noted robust infection‑control practices: a single entry point with symptom screening, mandatory face coverings for staff, ample hand‑hygiene stations, clear visitor signage, and adequate PPE supplies. The facility’s plan for epidemic outbreaks was regularly reviewed, and the staff’s adherence to CDC guidance was affirmed. The repeated positive findings underscore Silvergate Rancho Bernardo’s ongoing commitment to resident safety, rigorous infection control, and effective incident management.
