These penalties are typically imposed when the violation is severe and harmed or could have harmed a resident.
Within the last three years, federal investigators imposed a monetary fine against Golden Hill Subacute And Rehabilitation Nursing Center for $3,097 on March 09, 2017, citing substandard care.

The state of California and Medicare.com routinely update their comprehensive list of deficiencies online to reflect all violations
According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including one out of five stars concerning health inspections, two out of five stars for staffing issues, and two out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to thoroughly investigate an abuse allegation, protect its residents, and report an alleged violation to the required agencies per their policy and procedure. These failures have the potential to place residents at risk for abuse and potential psychosocial harm.”
The investigation involved a cognitively intact resident who “requires staff assistance with toileting.” On October 3, 2018, investigators interviewed the resident, who stated that “she informed facility management regarding concerns of how [a Certified Nursing Assistant] provided perineal care.” The resident stated that “there had been multiple incidents when the CNA made her feel uncomfortable during peri-care.” The resident said that “one of those incidents occurred with [the occupational therapist] present.”
The resident stated that during peri-care, the CNA would tell the resident, “I got [to] clean your vagina.” The resident stated the CNA “used fingers to clean her private area during multiple [occasions of] peri-care.” The resident stated she informed the licensed nurse “of previous incidents with the CNA.” The resident stated that she teared up when she told the licensed nurse “that she did not want the CNA to be her CNA.”
The investigator asked the resident, “if she felt satisfied in how the facility management handled her concerns.” The resident replied that the CNA “should have been dismissed and should not be working. It felt like sexual abuse. I would see her around when going to activities, and I wanted to hit her because I felt violated.” During the interview, the resident was teary-eyed and stated that the Director of Nursing moved the CNA “to a different area of assignment and informed [the resident] that the CNA would not be fired because it was just cleaning.”
The Director of Nursing stated that the resident had told her that the CNA was constantly asking the resident, “is that your vagina? I just want to make sure I am cleaning you while providing perineal care after a bowel movement.”
The Director stated that the resident said the CNA, when wiping her asked, “Am I in your vagina now? Am I cleaning it good?” The Director of Nursing stated that the resident described the CNA's “provision of care as inappropriate.”
