Safest assisted living in Long Beach, ranked by inspection data

This is one of our California city safety reports. See the other markets or read the methodology behind the FYI Safety Score.

The safest assisted living facility in Long Beach is Crofton Manor Inn, a 213-bed community with a 9.9 FYI Safety Score. It has 24 state inspections on record across 42 years of licensing, zero citations, and zero substantiated complaints. A 42-year clean record at a 213-bed community is genuinely exceptional. Most California facilities with that kind of depth of state observation have accumulated at least some findings over the decades; Crofton Manor has none on the books.

Below are the 15 facilities at the top of the Long Beach ranking, what separates them from each other, and how the rest of the market looks once you zoom out. The data was pulled from California state inspection records in May 2026.

Long Beach has 47 licensed assisted living facilities, with a total licensed capacity of around 2,300 beds.

The 15 safest assisted living facilities in Long Beach

The ranking is the FYI Safety Score on a 1.0 to 10.0 scale, computed from the public state inspection record.

Two things worth noticing.

First, Crofton Manor's record is in its own category. Across all 19 California cities we've analyzed in this series, very few facilities of any size have a clean 40-plus-year licensing history. If you're looking for a larger community in Long Beach, Crofton Manor is the strongest starting point our data shows.

Second, after Crofton Manor, the rest of the Long Beach top 15 is mostly small 6-bed care homes with modest histories. The Long Beach market is bifurcated: a few exceptional large-community options at the top, then the familiar small-home pattern.

What the distribution looks like across the rest of Long Beach

A list of 15 facilities is a starting point, not a market summary. Here's what the full distribution actually looks like across all 47 Long Beach facilities.

About 60% of Long Beach facilities score Good or Excellent. About 13% score Poor or Severe. The market is above average overall, but the concerning band is notable because it concentrates among the larger communities.

There are zero Perfect 10 facilities in Long Beach. Perfect 10 is an earned distinction reserved for facilities with at least 5 years of inspection history, at least 10 state visits, zero citations across the entire record, and zero substantiated complaints. It's rare statewide; fewer than 0.1% of California facilities qualify.

The other end of the list

We publish this part for the same reason we publish the top. A facility on this list isn't necessarily dangerous today. It's a facility where the public record contains enough recent findings that the right move is to dig into the raw inspection history and ask specific questions before deciding.

Long Beach's Severe-tier list includes some of the most heavily-cited large communities in our California dataset. Glen Park at Long Beach (208 beds) has 116 state inspections on record. Regency Palms Long Beach has 41 substantiated complaints. Brittany House (170 beds) has 49 Type B citations. These are facilities the state has been actively tracking for years.

If you're looking at one of these and the score is concerning, the right move is to click through, read the record, then call the facility and ask them directly what happened and what changed. A facility that owns its history and can speak specifically to corrective actions is in a very different position than one that doesn't.

How does Long Beach compare to the rest of California?

Long Beach is above the California state average. The average score across 47 Long Beach facilities is 7.85. What's distinctive is the spread: an exceptional top facility, a respectable middle, and a notably weighted bottom of large communities.

A few other California cities are worth a comparison: Modesto sits at 8.34 (highest among major CA cities), San Diego and Fresno at 8.02 (well above average), Riverside at 7.99 with zero severely-rated facilities, and Sacramento at 7.41 (notably below).

How to use this list

The score is the gut check. The visit is the field test. The conversations with current residents and frontline staff are the verification. A high score is not a guarantee, and a low score is not a verdict. They're starting points for asking the right questions.

If you're researching a specific Long Beach facility, the fastest path is just to search the site for the name. You'll get the score, the plain-language summary of the record, the raw counts, the address, photos where we have them, and pricing if it's been verified or published. All of that without entering a phone number or filling out a form.
