Inspection Report Summary for Atria Golden Creek

The California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division has repeatedly inspected ATRIA Golden Creek (Facility Number 306000752) over a three‑year period, consistently reporting no deficiencies. The 2022 annual inspection highlighted the facility’s adherence to COVID‑19 infection‑control protocols, complete vaccination of staff and residents, and robust screening and sanitation measures. Resident care was described as “happy and well taken care of,” with clean, single‑occupancy rooms and adequate emergency supplies. In December 2022 an unannounced case‑management visit addressed a resident medication‑error incident; the review of medical orders and staff procedures found no deficiencies, and the resident was safely monitored thereafter.

In 2024 the LPA followed up on two separate incident reports. A May elopement involving a dementia resident was contained within the property; staff responded within minutes, and the resident was returned to her room and observed to be safe. A December incident in which a resident self‑administered a double dose of medication was likewise resolved with no deficiencies cited. Both visits underscored effective alarm response, adequate staffing, and adherence to medication‑management protocols. July’s required annual inspection reaffirmed the facility’s clean physical plant, compliant food service, and proper documentation of staff certifications, again yielding no regulatory citations.

Across all visits, a consistent pattern emerges: ATRIA Golden Creek demonstrates sound governance, proactive incident follow‑up, and maintenance of a safe, clean environment for its residents. The facility’s capacity remains well below its licensed limit, with census fluctuating from 102 to 122 residents, and its leadership—James D. Craddock and successors—has maintained open communication with CCL staff. The repeated absence of deficiencies suggests that the facility’s policies and procedures effectively meet California’s regulatory expectations for community care settings.
