FYI Safety Score

3.5 Poor

Carlton Plaza of San Leandro has 18 state citations and 9 verified complaints since 2021 across 30 inspections. The most recent substantiated finding, from December 2025, confirmed that staff were not conducting routine 2-hour rounds and that residents were only checked when they pressed a call button or used an intercom device. In late 2024, a complaint was substantiated finding that staff delayed calling emergency services for a resident whose blood pressure was significantly dropping, even though staff were aware the condition would worsen. Also in 2024, inspectors found the facility had exceeded its approved capacity for non-ambulatory residents on 1 floor, a repeat violation that resulted in a $250 civil penalty, and a follow-up visit found additional food safety violations including insects in the kitchen and improperly stored raw chicken. A 2023 complaint was substantiated for failing to notify a resident's family of a change in condition and for not administering a prescribed medication on schedule.
