12 state citations and 13 verified complaints since 2021 across 81 inspections. The most significant recent finding involved a resident in October 2024 who walked out of the facility during admission and was found wandering the streets in a confused state, requiring hospital transport; the state cited the facility for failure to ensure adequate supervision. The facility has also received 2 verified complaints related to eviction procedures: inspectors found in November 2021 that a resident was blocked from returning after a hospitalization without the required 30-day written notice, and in November 2022 that a second resident was effectively discharged without written notification or signed discharge documents. An earlier verified complaint from December 2021 documented that 1 of the facility's 2 elevators had been out of service for months due to pandemic-related parts delays, leaving residents reliant on a single working elevator. The 12 state citations include 4 serious and 8 minor violations across this period.

Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program
For a 160-bed community with this level of amenities, ALW participation is significant. Eligible residents can access fitness centers, walking paths, chef-prepared meals, and professional care at a fraction of private-pay rates.
Extensive amenities for the price tier
Fitness center, walking paths, gardening spaces, music lounge, library, and a parking area for visiting families. These are the kinds of amenities you'd expect at a premium community, available here with ALW affordability.
Comprehensive care services included
The standard offering covers 24-hour staff, medication assistance, bathing, grooming, incontinence management, mobility assistance, meal escorts, periodic check-ins, transportation, housekeeping, linen services, and emergency alert systems. That's a thorough baseline.
Below-average safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 4.8 out of 10 (Poor), based on state inspection data. With 13 substantiated allegations out of 156 total, the volume of complaints warrants careful scrutiny. Ask management for details on specific issues and their response plan.
Part of the Savant Senior Living chain
Savant operates multiple communities across the region. This can mean standardized processes and corporate backing, but also less of the personal, owner-operated feel. Ask about site-level management tenure and decision-making autonomy.
160 beds is a large operation
At this scale, the community operates more like a large apartment complex than a home. If your loved one values intimate settings and deep personal relationships with staff, the size may feel impersonal.
