“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.

Allegation investigated: Neglect resulted in rib fractures Staff did not administer medications as prescribed

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ramon Serrano, conducted an unannounced Complaint Visit. LPA introduced himself and discussed the purpose of the visit with Executive Director (ED) Randal Newton. During today's visit, a records review revealed the alleged victim; Resident 1 (R1) does not reside at the facility. LPA reviewed a current resident roster dated April 10, 2025 for both the assisted living and memory care units. LPA also reviewed "move in" and "move out" rosters dated January 1, 2025 through today's date. LPA interviewed ED who stated that R1 is not a resident of the facility. LPA investigation determined that R1 is not a resident of this facility, therefore the above allegations are determined to be Unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. We have therefore dismissed the complaint. An exit interview was conducted with Randal Newton.

What the state has logged

California has logged 11 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.
