3 state citations and 1 verified complaint across 7 inspections since 2023. The verified complaint, investigated in October 2023, was substantiated: the facility failed to follow the required transfer process under health and safety code when a resident sought to return to independent living from the facility's skilled nursing unit. Of the 3 state citations, 1 was serious, issued in November 2025 when a staff file was found missing required TB results. The 2 minor citations were issued across earlier inspections. A May 2025 case management visit following a resident fall and a March 2025 visit following a resident fracture both closed with no deficiencies cited. The most recent annual inspection in November 2025 otherwise found the facility in good order, with safety systems, medications, resident records, and physical plant all in compliance.
