The Watermark at Almaden has 9 state citations (5 serious, 4 minor) and 0 verified complaints across 36 inspections since 2021, with the most recent inspection on March 10, 2026. Of 47 complaints filed, none were verified; allegations closed as unsubstantiated or unfounded covered incontinence care protocols, medication dispensing, ADA restroom access, billing after a resident's move-out, staff conduct in the memory care unit, resident injury documentation, and call button response times. A 2021 complaint about first-floor restroom doors being too heavy for non-ambulatory residents prompted renovation; by June 2022, the facility had completed ADA-compliant construction confirmed by state inspectors. More recent investigations from 2024 and 2025, covering staff treatment of memory care residents, incontinence care at night, and phone access, were likewise closed without substantiation after staff interviews, resident interviews, and record reviews.
