Position within California
10 citations — more than 93% of the 8,587 licensed assisted living facilities in California. Compared only within California: a citation from CDSS means what it means in California, and there is no national assisted living record to compare to. Counted over 5 years, which holds two or three routine inspections. How this is calculated
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.
Also on this campus
The same campus holds a Medicare-certified nursing home, with its own federal record on the Life Safety Index: Grossmont Gardens Healthcare Center (5480 Marengo Ave). Matched by the telephone number the two records share. The records are separate and are never added together.

Reflects the CDSS record as pulled September 18, 2026. A recent visit may not appear yet. This is the California state licensing record; it is not the federal nursing home survey and the two are never combined.
