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 114 residents; larger communities are visited and complained about more often, so read counts with size in mind.

The state’s advice: “Never rely on this information alone to make a decision about a facility. Always visit facilities in person.”

Paying with Medicaid and other programsOn the California list of Medicaid providers (2026)

On the California list of Medicaid providers. Listed as LA POSADA AT WHITTIER under Assisted Living Waiver (ALW). (state list, as of Mar 3, 2026)

Being on the list means the community has taken part in the program. Ask whether it has a Medicaid opening now, and how many residents it serves on Medicaid.

How Medicaid pays for care in California

  • Assisted Living Waiver (ALW). Medi-Cal can pay for assisted living care services through the Assisted Living Waiver, but only in 15 counties, only for people who need nursing home level care, and there is a waitlist. The resident still pays room and board. (state page)
  • Waitlist. The Assisted Living Waiver has a waitlist. DHCS reported 18,365 people on it in December 2025. (source)
Staff pay and workplace safety1 federal wage case with violations found; 2 OSHA inspections, 4 violations cited

Federal records about how the employer here treats its staff.

Federal wage and hour cases

The Department of Labor checks that staff are paid minimum wage and overtime as the law requires.

  • Findings for Aug 22, 2016 to Aug 22, 2018. Violations found: Overtime. Back wages: $1,774 owed to 14 employees. Employer as DOL recorded it: Posada At Whittier (KA-6 Associates, LLC). Case 1860226.

Source: U.S. Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division enforcement data, loaded Oct 15, 2026. Concluded cases only. The dates are the period in which DOL found violations, not when the case opened or closed. Back wages are what the employer agreed to pay; penalties are what DOL assessed. DOL does not publish a page for each case, so search the dataset by case number.

OSHA workplace safety inspections

OSHA inspects workplaces for staff safety, such as lifting, needles, chemicals and workplace violence. It does not inspect resident care.

  • Aug 17, 2026: complaint inspection, partial (safety). Case closed Sep 4, 2026. No violations cited. OSHA record. OSHA recorded the employer as Posada SL LLC.
  • Jan 31, 2023: programmed (planned) inspection, complete (safety). Case closed Sep 24, 2024. 4 violations cited (2 serious, 2 other). Penalties: $7,830 proposed, $2,080 now. OSHA record. OSHA recorded the employer as Posada SL LLC.
    Details
    • Other than serious: Cited rule 2340.12(a). Penalty $205 proposed, $0 now. Contested by the employer.
    • Other than serious: Cited rule 2473.2(a). Penalty $205 proposed, $100 now. Contested by the employer.

Report a wrong fact

How Lilisity works. The only scores or rankings Lilisity publishes are the Top Communities list and the Excellence Awards, both built from phone-verified resident and family interviews. Communities can pay Lilisity a flat monthly fee to manage their own listing: photos, prices, contact details, and receiving the inquiries families choose to send them. The fee is the same no matter how many families contact them or move in. Senior Living Alliance, which runs Lilisity, offers the same listing to its member communities as part of their membership; members pay SLA for its resident and family interview program. No community pays Lilisity per inquiry, per referral or per move-in. Payment never changes a testimonial, a rating, or the order of search results. The "Nearby Senior Living Alliance communities" box shows member communities only. How we verify testimonials · How we are paid
