Scale matters when reading this table: St. Paul's Villa is licensed for 200 residents, about 5.0 complaints per 100 licensed beds over the window. Substantiated means CCLD found the allegation was more likely than not true and violated a regulation; unsubstantiated means it may have happened but could not be proven.
Has St. Paul's Villa received CCLD citations?
Yes. St. Paul's Villa's CCLD record shows 1 Type A citation and 1 Type B citation in the current public window: 0 A / 0 B from inspections, 1 A / 1 B from complaint investigations and 0 A / 0 B from other visits.
CCLD issues a Type A citation for a deficiency that poses an immediate risk to residents' health, safety or personal rights, and a Type B citation for one that could become a risk if not corrected (often records, training or physical-plant issues). Read the report behind each one before deciding what it means.
What care is St. Paul's Villa licensed to provide?
Per its CCLD record, St. Paul's Villa is licensed for 200 residents and it holds a dementia approval, so it may admit and keep residents with dementia under Title 22 dementia-care requirements; CCLD has approved delayed-egress doors and/or a secured perimeter for residents at risk of wandering; it has a hospice waiver, so a resident can receive hospice care there instead of moving; it may accept non-ambulatory residents (people who could not leave the building unaided in an emergency).
The capacity note on the license reads: "Facility serves elderly clients age 60 and above. Facility is licensed for 200 residents,of whom 80 may be non-ambulatory on entire 2nd floor. Approved for locked dementia unit with delayed egressdoors on second floor. Hospice waiver approved for 12 clients."
Even with these approvals, a California RCFE cannot keep a resident who needs 24-hour skilled nursing or has certain prohibited health conditions; that resident needs a skilled nursing facility.
Who is St. Paul's Villa a good fit for, based on its license?
Based only on its CCLD record, St. Paul's Villa fits families planning for dementia care who need a secured setting, since CCLD has approved delayed egress or a secured perimeter. It may also suit residents who want to stay in place at end of life, since it has a hospice waiver; people who use a wheelchair or could not evacuate unaided; people who want a large campus with more on-site programming.
