Rather, ED sought clarification and written guidance regarding the scope and legal basis of the request, particularly in light of recent events involving a memory care resident with a dementia diagnosis, who was having issues with the Power of Attorney. Following this incident, the Ombudsman requested a list of all memory care residents, and their responsible parties contact information.

What the state has logged
California has logged 15 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.
