1 later report, on Apr 10, 2026, recorded no deficiencies, though the records do not say whether they were follow-ups.

What Type A and Type B mean

Type A: Violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.
Type B: Violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.

Both classifications are published by California CDSS and are shown as published. SeniorLivingFacts does not rename them or add a severity level of its own.

What the official deficiency says

87465 Incidental Medical and Dental Care(a) A plan for incidental medical and dental care shall be developed by each facility. The plan shall encourage routine medical and dental care and provide for assistance in obtaining such care, by compliance with the following: (5) Facility staff, except those authorized by law, shall not administer injections, but staff designated by the licensee may assist persons with self-administration as needed. Assistance with self-administered medications shall be limited to the following: (A) Medications usually prescribed for self-administration which have been authorized by the person's physician. This requirement was not met as evidenced by: Based on interviews and observations, the Licensee did not ensure staff only assisted residents with medication prescribed by a resident's physician, which posed an immediate health, safety and personal rights risk to 3 of 6 residents in care.
