Inspection History

In California, the Department of Social Services (for assisted living facilities) and the Department of Public Health (for nursing homes) conduct inspections to ensure resident safety and regulatory compliance.

We don't publish a score for assisted living residences with fewer than three inspections on record. This would unfairly reward providers with limited inspection history or those that have not been operating long enough to be cited.

Inspection score unavailable

Not enough inspection history to generate a score.

Average score for California assisted living residences: B- 81/100

Inspection score not available. Not enough inspection history to score against the California benchmark.
