Key Review Excerpts
“The experienced tea[m]... My Dad's physical health and cognition was declining rapidly last summer while he was living alone and his dementia was progressing. He needed all day care but the transition to assisted living was extremely difficult and he was violently resistant.”
“The staff patiently helped her get acclimated and everything went smoothly for Mom’s last nineteen months. I was a frequent visitor (three days a week) as Mom went from one level of care to another. And I always, always had confidence in her caregivers.”
“They have a very high ratio of caretakers to residents and the caretakers know each resident personally. The place is extremely clean. I'm a germaphobe and I can attest to how spotless they keep everything.”

Mar 18, 2026Follow-upCleanReport

Nov 10, 2025ComplaintCleanReport
This report details an investigation into three allegations: staff not following doctor's orders, failure to ensure prescribed medication, and delayed notification of a change in condition.

Oct 30, 2025ComplaintCleanReport
This report details two separate complaint investigations conducted on different dates (10/20/2025 and 10/20/2025). In both instances, the allegations—improper needle disposal and failure to safeguard belongings—were found to be unsubstantiated or unfounded based on the investigation findings. Therefore, no deficiencies were cited in this report.
Oct 16, 2025Complaint
The investigation substantiated the allegation of unlawful eviction because the initial 30-day notice letter failed to meet legal requirements. Specifically, the notice lacked the required specific facts, including dates, places, and witnesses, and did not specify the expiration date of the notice period. Two technical violations were cited related to the formatting and content of the eviction notice.
The eviction notice letter did not contain specific facts relied upon for eviction, such as relevant dates, places, witnesses, and circumstances. This is required by CCR 87224(d).
The initial eviction notice letter lacked specific facts regarding the reasons for eviction, which is a potential personal rights risk to residents in care.
