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.
