Position within California
20 citations — more than 97% 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.

CDSS also holds 2 older citations for this facility from before September 2021, outside the 5-year window these pages use. They are on the state’s own record.
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.
