Eskaton Gold River Lodge has 32 state citations (22 serious, 10 minor) and 12 verified complaints since 2021 across 50 inspections. The most significant findings include a serious citation in October 2022 for a medication error in which a resident received an extra dose of a weekly medication, with staff required to complete retraining as a corrective measure. In June 2024, investigators confirmed that memory care staff were operating a Hoyer lift with 1 person rather than the required 2 during resident transfers. In September 2024, a complaint was substantiated after investigators found that residents transferred from a sister Eskaton facility were not screened, isolated, or masked for COVID-19, despite the sending facility having a confirmed positive case at the time of transfer. In May 2025, a complaint was substantiated when investigators observed a staff member not wearing a required mask and confirmed 2 additional employees had been counseled for the same infection control violation during an active outbreak response period.
Eskaton Gold River Lodge is a 134-bed assisted living community in Gold River, a Sacramento suburb along the American River. Part of the Eskaton nonprofit system, it benefits from the organization's resources and mission-driven approach, though its recent inspection history warrants careful attention.
