A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.

Count of California state "Type A" citations — the state's most serious citation category (immediate or serious harm to residents), from California state inspection data.
