Total inspections Info Combined count of official scheduled inspections, complaint visits and other regulatory visits. California counts each evaluation report, so one trip can count twice when it serves two purposes. 519.0 This facility has had 74% fewer total inspections than the California average (5 vs. CA avg 19). More inspections can mean more regulatory scrutiny rather than worse care.↓ 74% fewer
Complaint visits Info On-site visits triggered by formal complaints filed by residents, families, or staff. 06.0 This facility has had 100% fewer complaint visits than the California average (0 vs. CA avg 6). More inspections can mean more regulatory scrutiny rather than worse care.↓ 100% fewer Rank #1 / 2474 Complaint visits — State benchmarked This assisted living community is ranked 1st out of 2,474 assisted living communities we track in California for # of complaint visits. A complaint visit is an unannounced on-site visit by California's Community Care Licensing Division to investigate a complaint about the community, filed by a resident, a family member, staff or anyone else. A visit means a complaint was looked into, not that it was proven: the state may find it substantiated, inconclusive or unfounded. Fewer visits is better. Shows this facility's # of complaint visits compared to the California average among the 2474 assisted living communities in the ranking pool. Communities with the same value for a metric share the same rank. Rankings compare like with like: every assisted living community we track in California that reports data for that category. Assisted living communities without available data are excluded, so the pool size varies from metric to metric.
Other visits Info Regulatory visits that are neither routine inspections nor complaint investigations — administrative check-ins, follow-up reviews, licensing-related visits. 45.0 This facility has had 20% fewer other visits than the California average (4 vs. CA avg 5). More inspections can mean more regulatory scrutiny rather than worse care.↓ 20% fewer
Official inspections Info Routine, scheduled inspections conducted by state regulators to evaluate whether the facility meets federal and state standards. 14.0 This facility has had 75% fewer official inspections than the California average (1 vs. CA avg 4). More inspections can mean more regulatory scrutiny rather than worse care.↓ 75% fewer
