Position within California

2 citations — more than 71% 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: MERCY RETIREMENT & CARE CENTER (3431 Foothill Blvd.). 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.
