5 state citations (2 serious, 3 minor) and 3 verified complaints since 2021 across 45 inspections, with the most recent inspection on February 3, 2026. A 2021 investigation found that a resident's bruise was not properly reported to the state licensing department or to the resident's responsible party; the facility first learned of the injury through the resident's daughter rather than its own staff. A June 2024 complaint investigation was substantiated and produced 1 deficiency citation under California's Title 22 regulations, though the available report does not detail the specific allegation. Over the review period, investigators also examined allegations involving falls attributed to inadequate supervision, medication handling, staffing levels, resident-on-resident harm, and pressure ulcers, and did not find sufficient evidence to substantiate those complaints.
