Ivy Park at Salinas has 3 state citations (2 serious, 1 minor) and 3 verified complaints since 2022 across 14 inspections. The most significant documented incident involved a memory care resident who eloped in June 2023: staff heard the door alarm but cleared it without visually confirming all residents were inside, and the resident was found down the street, resulting in a serious state citation. In a more recent incident in December 2025, a staff member wrote 2 unauthorized checks totaling $4,000 from a resident's account; the facility reported the matter to the Salinas Police Department and placed the staff member on suspension pending investigation, with a state case management visit following in January 2026. Separate complaints regarding resident billing, elevator maintenance, and daily activity programming were each investigated and found unsubstantiated. Annual inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 consistently found bedrooms clean and in good repair, medications properly secured, and fire safety equipment operational.
