“Not on file” is not a no — approvals can be bed- or room-specific, so confirm current scope with the home on a tour. Where a number is shown it is the state’s own wording for how many residents the approval covers, not how many places are open today; where none is shown, the record simply does not state one.

“RCFE / Dementia” is the state’s designation for a home with an approved Dementia Care Plan of Operation — it’s recorded separately from the comments above, which is why the memory-care approval may not appear in that text.

Licensing Program Analyst Michelle Reed arrived at the facility to deliver the findings of this complaint investigation. Upon arrival, LPA met with Administrator Jennifer Kornmann.

On 8/11/22, at approximately 6:15am, R1 had an unwitnessed fall in his room. Staff immediately called 911 and R1 was taken to the hospital for evaluation. R1 did not receive any injuries. Records reviewed disclosed that R1 had a series of falls prior to 8/11. Based upon the interviews conducted and the records reviewed, the allegation is unsubstantiated, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that R1’s falls were due to lack of supervision.

California has logged 22 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.
