PEDAL Team
Introduction to PEDAL
Jon Pollard, Code Compliance Manager – Planning & Community Development Dept.
Pasadena Elderly and Dependent Adult Liaisons
Introduction
• The Pasadena Elderly and Dependent Adult Liaisons Team (PEDAL) is a multi-disciplinary group created in August 2021 to improve the quality of life for elder and dependent adults in skilled nursing/long-term care facilities in Pasadena.
• PEDAL is an outgrowth of significant patient-safety events that caused the evacuation of two SNF’s in Pasadena in 2020; the evacuations were handled by the Pasadena Fire Department on an emergency basis even though Pasadena has no
regulatory authority, illustrating the need for better
coordination among agencies, especially in a crisis situation. 2 Pasadena Elderly and Dependent Adult Liaisons
Introduction
• The Team was initiated to:
> Improve the quality of life for all citizens of Pasadena. > Assist in resolving matters important to facility residents, their families and healthcare professionals.
> Take local action where possible to maintain required standards at skilled and long-term care facilities.
> Advocate for improved regulation by state and county agencies and for coordinated crisis response to SNF’s.
> Build stronger relationships with first-responders.
> Coordinate enforcement consequences.
> Collaborate in partnership with educational and technical assistance opportunities.
3 Pasadena Elderly and Dependent Adult Liaisons
Introduction
• The PEDAL Team is a collaboration comprised of professionals from multiple disciplines including:
> Pasadena Public Health Department
> Pasadena Fire Department
> Pasadena Police Department
> Pasadena City Manager’s Office
> Pasadena City Attorney/City Prosecutor’s Office
> Pasadena Planning & Community Development Department
> Wise & Healthy Aging
> Huntington Health
> USC – Keck School of Medicine
4 Pasadena Elderly and Dependent Adult Liaisons
Introduction
• PEDAL serves an important role given that:
> Pasadena has a higher population per-capita residing in long-term care facilities compared to L.A. County overall, with more than 3,000 residents in more than 100 skilled nursing, assisted living and long-term care facilities.
> Several Pasadena located long-term care facilities have demonstrated chronic operational deficiencies that have resulted in life-threatening conditions for residents.
> The City has no licensing or regulatory authority over these facilities and there are myriad consequences on the people who live and work there, our first responders, our public health system, healthcare systems, and the citizens of Pasadena.
5 Pasadena Elderly and Dependent Adult Liaisons
Introduction
• Despite extensive regulation of skilled nursing/long-term care facilities, 2021 reports by the L.A. County Office of the Inspector General found that substandard care is an ongoing and persistent problem. • Challenges are often caused by:
> Staffing and workforce issues.
> Insufficient training.
> Poor infection control practices.
> Opaque financial transactions.
> Insufficient oversight.
> The need for county wide crisis mitigation and response planning to coordinate with partner agencies and stakeholders
6 Pasadena Elderly and Dependent Adult Liaisons
Introduction
• An important part of PEDAL’s mission is to provide community outreach, education, information and training.
• To date PEDAL has presented three separate 4-hour training symposiums largely oriented towards skilled nursing facility administrators, infection preventionists, directors of nursing, and admissions coordinators. • Recent training and education topics included:
> Sepsis prevention and control within the SNF environment > Addressing the burden of the RSV virus and Covid-19 in long-term care facilities > Collaboration with Wise & Healthy Aging – Long Term Care Ombudsman Program > Fire prevention and best practices in skilled nursing facilities. 7 Pasadena Elderly and Dependent Adult Liaisons
Introduction
8 • What is the PEDAL Team working towards?
> Increased accountability and oversight amongst state and county regulatory agencies.
> Expanded collaborative relationships with State and County regulatory and licensing agencies including participation in comprehensive crisis mitigation and response plans for SNF’s in the event of facility wide crises. > Improved and expanded training opportunities for facility operators and their staff. > Systemic and cultural changes in skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. > Increased empowerment of facility residents and their family members to:
Voice their concerns about facility operations and conditions. Advocate for improvements.
Participate in decisions that affect their daily lives and quality of care.

Long-Term Care Facilities
• Long-term care facilities are entrusted with the responsibility of providing a safe, supportive environment for residents to live and receive necessary care. • In Pasadena, there are over 1,000 individuals living in 14 skilled nursing homes (includes two LAC facilities with a Pasadena mailing address^) and over 2,300 individuals living in almost 100 assisted living/residential care facilities in Pasadena. Pasadena has 12 skilled nursing facilities (SNFs)^ in its health jurisdiction.
• Long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in the United States, including skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and assisted living facilities (ALFs), are populated by adults who need residential care for underlying medical conditions.
^ Pasadena Park Healthcare and Wellness Center, and Two Palms Nursing Center are within the Foothill Healthcare District and overseen by LAC Department of Public Health. For more information on addresses and health districts, query: https://appcenter.gis.lacounty.gov/districtlocator/ Pasadena Elderly and Dependent Adult Liaisons
Community Health Improvement Plan
• Since 2018, the health and well-being
of these residents in LTCFs has been a
prioritized health objective in the
Community Health Improvement
Plans.
> Objective 1.4: Improve the wellness and
health outcomes of older adults in long-
term care facilities.
> Objective 1.5: Decrease the proportion of
older adults who experience elder abuse.

Example SNF CHIP Measure
Example Measure 1.4.1: Percent of skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) that have a 3-star rating or higher on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) ratings, 2010-2024 For more information, visit: https://www.cityofpasadena.net/public-health/data/#community-health-improvement-plan The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rate the quality of these facilities. Each facility is rated out of five stars. Eight SNFs received a 3-star rating or higher. Reasons for SNFs not meeting the 3-star rating include high number of health citations, poor quality measures, and high staff turnover/lack of staff.
Pasadena Elderly and Dependent Adult Liaisons
PPHD PEDAL Staffing
• Since 2020, LTCF support has been exclusively funded by ELC Grants. (~3.5 FTE)
• As of March 24, 2025, ELC has been terminated until further notice.
• PPHD is evaluating ability to offer expanded LTCF support.
