Taking the Journey North

2125 Mcsween Ln

Petaluma, CA 94954

6 beds • Est. 2023 (3 years)


FYI Safety Score

8.9 Good

1 minor state citation and 0 verified complaints across 6 inspections since 2023. No complaints were filed during this period. The single minor citation stemmed from the pre-licensing inspection in 2023, when the fire extinguisher was found overdue for its annual charge -- it had last been serviced in December 2022. Subsequent annual inspections in 2024, 2025, and 2026 all found the fire extinguisher current, and the facility has maintained a consistently clean record since opening. Inspectors across all visits noted the home was clean, well-stocked with food and supplies, and properly equipped for its 6-bed dementia-focused population, including required grab bars, slip-resistant bath mats, and safely stored hazardous materials. The facility has operated under the same administrator, Kelly Eriksen, since licensing and holds a hospice waiver, with recurring hospice residents noted across multiple inspections.
