The California Department of Social Services (CCLD) has inspected Aunt Dottie’s Place on four occasions since its pre‑licensing evaluation in July 2022. Each unannounced visit—conducted by Licensing Program Analysts Sabrina Calzada and Kevin Mknelly—focused on the facility’s compliance with health and safety standards, resident care, and administrative documentation. The 2022 inspection, prompted by a change in ownership, found the home clean, well‑maintained, and in substantial compliance, with no deficiencies cited. The subsequent annual inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 continued to confirm the absence of immediate health or safety violations and noted that all resident files, staff credentials, and required postings were current and properly organized.

A consistent theme across the reports is the facility’s adherence to regulatory requirements related to resident care, especially for its small capacity of six non‑ambulatory residents, three of whom were on hospice care during the 2022 visit. Fire extinguishers, smoke/monoxide alarms, and emergency plans were all in service and correctly tested, while hygiene and food‑safety practices remained above the minimum standards. Staff training, including First Aid/CPR certification, and licensure documentation were verified each year, with the analysts requesting updated copies of LIC 308 and LIC 500 certifications as needed. No citations or enforcement actions were issued, and residents reported satisfaction with the assistance they received.

Overall, the inspection narrative demonstrates a pattern of reliable compliance and effective management at Aunt Dottie’s Place. The facility consistently meets or exceeds licensing expectations, maintains rigorous documentation, and ensures a safe environment for its residents. These findings suggest that the care, safety, and operational standards set by the CCLD are being upheld consistently over the four-year period.
