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.
