Carlton Plaza of Davis has recorded 10 state citations (5 serious, 5 minor) and 7 verified complaints since 2022 across 28 inspections. The most serious substantiated finding involved a staff member failing to respond to a fall-pad alarm, leaving a resident with dementia unsupervised outdoors for approximately 1.5 hours; the resident was hospitalized with a hip fracture requiring surgery. A November 2025 elopement of a resident with dementia resulted in a $1,000 civil penalty for a repeat absence-of-supervision violation, with the resident found safe at a nearby relative's home. Other substantiated findings include call response times ranging from 15 minutes to over 3 hours (July 2025), a delayed illness-outbreak notification to state regulators (May 2025), and improper PPE disposal during an active COVID-19 case in 2022. The facility operates under a new administrator as of 2025, and a 2024 informal meeting with state regulators addressed memory care staffing levels and reporting compliance.
Carlton Plaza of Davis is a 150-bed assisted living community in Davis, home to UC Davis and one of the Sacramento region's most educated, bike-friendly cities. Part of the Carlton chain, this large community serves families in the Yolo County area.

150-bed scale
At 150 beds, this is a large facility. Ask how care staffing ratios are maintained across shifts and whether residents have consistent Care Partners.
Memory care is a separate neighborhood
