What these terms mean

Type A citations are for “the most serious type of violations in which there is an immediate risk to the health, safety or personal rights of those in care,” and are issued “even if the violation is corrected on the spot.”

Type B citations are for “a violation that, if not corrected, may [pose] an immediate risk to the health, safety or personal rights of clients,” such as faulty medical record keeping or staff training.

CCLD: “There is no difference between an inconclusive and an unsubstantiated complaint allegation. Both terms mean that there was no preponderance of evidence to prove that an alleged violation occurred.” Allegations CCLD finds unfounded are also not substantiated.

This community is licensed for 6 residents; larger communities are visited and complained about more often, so read counts with size in mind. Source: California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing, data as of September 28, 2026, covering the five years of records the state publishes. The state’s advice: “Never rely on this information alone to make a decision about a facility. Always visit facilities in person.”

How reviews are collected, and how we’re paid

  1. We interview residents and family members by phone, voice to voice, never through web forms or scraped from other sites.
  2. Every review is named and dated and checked against the community’s current resident or family list before publishing.
  3. The only scores or rankings we publish are the Top Communities list and the Excellence Awards, both built from phone-verified resident and family interviews.

How Lilisity makes money: some communities pay us a referral fee when a family we’ve helped moves in. That fee never changes a review, a rating, or who appears on this page. Full methodology → · How we are paid →
