FYI Safety Score

8.5 Good

4 state citations (1 serious, 3 minor) and 3 verified complaints since 2021 across 23 inspections. The single serious citation, from May 2023, involved a staff member failing to properly administer a prescribed topical ointment to a resident over a two-day period, a basic personal care deficiency under California Title 22 regulations. The 3 minor citations span the inspection record but no narratives detail their specific findings. Among the 3 verified complaints, investigators confirmed the medication administration failure noted above. The remaining 21 complaints were investigated and found unsubstantiated or unfounded, including allegations of overmedication (March 2026), medication mishandling (January 2024), and rough handling during transfers (September 2024). Annual inspections in December 2024 and December 2025 found the facility in good condition with no deficiencies noted, residents appearing clean and well cared for, and physical plant maintained to standard.
