California — assisted living inspection records

Every facility the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division (CDSS) licenses as an assisted living facility, with the sections from its inspections and complaint investigations since November 2021. Community Care Licensing's routine inspection of a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly is annual, with complaint investigations and case-management visits in between. CDSS publishes each facility's evaluation and complaint reports for roughly the last five years, and its facility file carries the same window.

Not in this record: Fire and life safety. A Residential Care Facility for the Elderly needs a fire clearance from the local fire authority, and that inspection is not part of the CDSS record. What CDSS does cite about the building is here: maintenance and operation of the premises, the emergency and disaster plan, and the physical environment sections of Title 22.
