Inspection Report Summary for Carlton Senior Living San Jose
The California Department of Social Services (CCLD) has repeatedly inspected Carlton Plaza of San Jose, a 740‑type assisted‑living and memory‑care facility with a capacity of 183 residents. In each annual inspection, the staff consistently met COVID‑19 infection‑control standards: temperature checks, mask use, hand‑sanitizer stations, and 6‑foot spacing in shared rooms. The facility also documented the removal of uncovered trash cans and the installation of hand‑washing posters, and it maintained up‑to‑date fire safety equipment and a functional alarm system. No citations were issued in the 2021, 2022, or 2023 annual visits, reflecting a strong adherence to state licensing requirements and a culture of continuous improvement.
The 2022 case‑management reviews on August 11 and August 24 followed up on an earlier incident that prompted the facility to provide staff training on resident rights and dementia‑behavior management. The second visit confirmed that the required trainings had been completed and that no new deficiencies existed. These visits illustrate CCLD’s focus on corrective action and the facility’s responsiveness to regulatory expectations.
The most serious event noted in the recent records is the resident death on November 3, 2023. An unannounced case‑management visit collected a detailed narrative from staff and family members, a physician’s report, and the resident’s care plan. Although the incident is being investigated, the facility has not received any citation and is cooperating fully with CCLD, providing additional documentation and scheduling a follow‑up meeting with hospice care providers. This case underscores the importance of rigorous medical oversight and the need for prompt incident reporting.
Overall, the inspection history demonstrates Carlton Plaza’s consistent compliance with licensing standards, proactive staff education, and a responsive approach to addressing identified concerns. The lone incident requiring investigation is being handled in accordance with regulatory procedures, and the facility’s ongoing documentation and communication suggest a continued commitment to resident safety and quality of care.
