Clearwater at North Tustin has 8 state citations (6 serious, 2 minor) and 4 verified complaints since 2021 across 22 inspections. The most significant findings occurred in 2022: a hot water failure left 6 residents unable to shower for multiple days and resulted in a serious citation for failing to maintain temperature-regulated water under state regulations; a memory care elopement was cited after a resident used a bench to climb the exit fence while staff were occupied with other residents; and a verified complaint found that direct care staff were regularly reassigned to cover dining server shifts, causing residents to wait extended periods for meals. The most recent annual inspection in November 2025 resulted in no citations, and a complaint investigation in January 2026 regarding a pressure injury was closed without citation after investigators found insufficient evidence to establish neglect.
