18 state citations (6 serious, 12 minor) and 12 verified complaints since 2021 across 49 inspections. Among the substantiated findings: in 2021, investigators confirmed that staff posted photos to social media showing residents' faces and room assignments, violating their privacy and confidentiality, and the facility was also found to be operating beyond the terms of its license. In 2022, a resident was confirmed to have fallen multiple times and sustained injuries while in care. In 2023, investigators substantiated that a staff member deliberately removed their own glasses to conceal their identity from a visually impaired resident in order to get the resident to accept medication. Concerns about staffing levels were raised in 2024, and a complaint about resident records access was filed in 2025; both were investigated and found unsubstantiated. Additional complaints across the facility's history were investigated and found unsubstantiated. The most recent inspection was conducted in March 2026.
Braswell's Mediterranean Gardens is a 130-bed assisted living community in Yucaipa, a small city nestled in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. Part of the Braswell's chain of Inland Empire senior living communities, it brings the consistency and operational experience of a regional operator to a quieter, more rural setting.
Yucaipa's slower pace and foothill scenery offer a peaceful environment for residents.
Six decades of family ownership
Founded in 1963 by Reverend A.L. Braswell, the operation is now in its third generation of family ownership and has served the Redlands and Yucaipa area continuously for over 60 years.
Medi-Cal ALW accepted
Licensed by the State of California for Assisted Living Waiver residents, making it one of fewer assisted living facilities in the area that accepts Medi-Cal funding for eligible residents.
Independent living through hospice on one campus
Mediterranean Gardens spans independent retirement, assisted living, and hospice care, allowing residents to remain on-site through multiple care transitions.
Memory care requires a sister facility
Alzheimer's and secured memory care are offered at Leisure Manor, a separate Braswell location, not at Mediterranean Gardens. Ask whether a transfer is the expected path if memory care needs develop.
130-bed scale
At 130 licensed beds, this is a large facility. Families seeking a more residential feel should ask directly about staffing ratios and how individualized care is structured at this size.
Mixed review record
Publicly available reviews include positive accounts of staff responsiveness alongside serious concerns about prior care consistency and staffing levels. Ask about current management tenure and staff turnover on a tour.
