Fined $50,710 for substandard care
Both the State of California and the federal government can impose a monetary fine or deny payments through Medicare when a nursing facility has been found to violate established regulations and rules. The higher the monetary penalty, the more serious the violation is that likely harmed or could have harmed one or more residents at the nursing home.
Within the last three years, federal investigators imposed a monetary fine against Manteca Care and Rehabilitation Center for $50,710 on November 09, 2016, citing substandard care. During this time, Medicare denied payment on November 09, 2016, due to a lack of quality care.
This nursing facility received eight complaints and self-reported two serious issues over the last three years that resulted in violation citations. Additional information concerning the facility can be reviewed on the comprehensive California Department of Social Services Adult Protective Services Website.

Your family can visit Medicare.gov and the California Department of Public Health website to obtain a complete list of all violations, citations, and deficiencies identified by investigators and surveyors.
According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including two out of five stars concerning health inspections, one out of five stars for staffing issues, and two out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to provide the results of a staff-to-resident abuse allegation investigation to the Department. This failure had the potential to preclude the California Department of Public Health from taking timely follow-up action.”
On February 23, 2018, “the Department received notification of the allegation of verbal and physical staff-to-resident abuse. Results of the facility’s investigation of the incident were not received by the department.” The facility Administrator “confirmed she served in the role of facility Abuse Coordinator” and stated that “a five-day follow up had not been sent” as required by law.
The facility "failed to implement an infection prevention program [when a] Licensed Nurse did not put on a long-sleeve gown during direct contact with a resident on contact precautions for exposure to pediculosis (infestation with lice).” This “failure had the potential to spread pediculosis to other residents in the facility.”
The state investigators reviewed medical records and spoke with the Infection Control Nurse, who explained that one resident had been treated for pediculosis and that two other residents who share the room with a fourth resident were all treated for the same condition. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stated that “every time she went inside the room shared by [the four residents], she had to put on gloves and a long sleeve gown.”
A Licensed Nurse was observed going into the contagious resident’s room “without a long-sleeve gown on. An isolation sign and set-up (gloves, gowns, masks, and a red bag) were hanging on the door of the resident’s room.” The Licensed Nurse stated that “she was aware all the residents that share the room with [the contagious resident] were on contact isolation for lice infestation” and that “she was supposed to wear a long-sleeve gown every time she entered the room but only put gloves on to give [one resident] some tissue.”
