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.

Repeated topics

Topics cited in more than one report during the last 36 months. A repeat may show a pattern worth asking about. Each date opens its report below.

No topic repeats in the last 36 months

No deficiency topic appears in more than one report during that window. This does not establish that nothing repeated earlier in the five-year record, and it is not a statement about current conditions.

What the official deficiency says

(a) Except as specified in subsection (b), the licensee shall ensure that disinfectants, cleaning solutions, poisonous substances, knives, matches, tools, sharp objects, and other similar items which could pose a danger to residents are in locked storage and are not left unattended if outside the locked storage. This requirement is not met as evidenced by: Deficient Practice Statement Based on observation, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above, as a pair of scissors were observed unsecured and unattended on the dining room table. This posed a potential safety risk to 6 of 6 persons in care.
