Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections at Carlton Senior Living Sacramento were clean and found the facility in compliance with regulations, including the most recent annual inspection on October 8, 2025, which had no deficiencies. However, several complaint investigations between 2023 and 2025 substantiated issues related to resident care, particularly inadequate supervision leading to falls and neglect of incontinent care, as well as violations of residents’ personal rights. The facility received two civil penalties of $500 each for these deficiencies, with no license suspensions or revocations listed in the available reports. Several other complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations of medication mismanagement and abuse. The trend shows improvement with the latest annual inspection being clean after earlier substantiated complaints and penalties.
