Carrington Of Shafter is a residential care home for the elderly (RCFE) in Shafter, Kern County, California — state license #157202769, with a licensed capacity of 64, listed as closed, change of ownership in the CDSS record we retrieved August 2, 2026. It does not appear on the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant list checked August 9, 2026 — that list covers the state waiver only, not a home's own payment arrangements. California has 9 dated inspection and complaint documents on file for this home going back to 2022, the most recent dated April 12, 2025 — published below in full, verbatim and unscored.
The state record lists this licence as “Closed, Change of Ownership”. A closed licence cannot admit residents. We keep closed licences published because “is this place licensed?” deserves an honest answer.

What the state’s words mean
Apr 12, 2025Unfounded
Allegation investigated: Staff physically abusing resident
On 4/12/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) M. Medina conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint visit to conduct additional interviews and deliver findings to complaint. LPA arrived and contacted Administrator by telephone who arrived a short time later to conduct complaint visit with LPA. This Department investigated the allegation of staff physically abusing resident. During the investigation, this department conducted facility tour, conducted interviews, and reviewed records. Based on review of Resident 1 (R1) records and interviews, it was documented that R1 received injury while being transferred from bed to wheelchair. Hospice records document that R1 has thin, frail skin, and is at high risk for skin tears. This Department has found that the above allegations are UNFOUNDED, meaning they were false, could not have happened, and/or were without reasonable basis. We have therefore dismissed the complaint.

What the state has logged
California has logged 9 state visits for this home as of August 2, 2026. These are the home's own counts, straight from that record — shown beside the statewide median for larger communities (16+ beds), computed across all 1,244 licensed homes of that size, because larger and longer-licensed homes naturally accumulate more visits and reports. They are facts, not a grade — a citation may be minor and since corrected, and an “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing. No substantiated complaints are on file.
