Inspection Report Summary for Clearwater at North Tustin
Clearwater at North Tustin (Facility Number 306006040) is a 740‑type residential home for the elderly with a capacity of 124 residents. The first report, dated 11 April 2021, documents the completion of Component II of the licensing process, confirming that the administrator, Tammie Sampedro, and executive director, Danielle Morgan, understand Title 22 regulations and the facility’s operational, staffing, and safety requirements. This initial compliance assessment set the stage for the pre‑licensing inspection that followed.
During the pre‑licensing visit on 22 November 2021, Licensing Program Analysts found the facility well‑equipped and compliant with all structural, health‑safety, and regulatory standards. Both the assisted‑living and memory‑care wings met fire‑clearance requirements, housed adequate medical and safety equipment, and displayed required posters and emergency plans. The analysts noted that the facility was ready for licensure and waived Component III, citing existing compliance at other licensed locations. The visit affirmed that the environment, staff, and procedures aligned with California Code of Regulations, Division 6.
Subsequent case‑management visits in April and July 2022 highlighted significant safety challenges. Unannounced inspections revealed two wandering residents who repeatedly left the premises without supervision, despite documented wander‑guard protocols and 1‑on‑1 caregiver assignments. These incidents prompted a deficiency citing delayed egress devices and inadequate staff supervision, with a corrective action deadline set for early May. An additional unannounced visit on 12 July 2022 addressed a staff exemption denial: a staff member was still present at the facility despite removal orders, prompting immediate termination upon discovery. Across the reports, a pattern emerges: while the facility’s physical infrastructure and initial compliance were robust, ongoing monitoring has identified lapses in resident supervision and staff compliance that require corrective action to maintain safe, compliant operations.
This is the number of people who can stay here (Facility Capacity).
