What are citations?

Citations are official notifications issued by regulatory agencies during inspections of assisted living facilities. These citations are given when violations or deficiencies related to resident safety, care, or adherence to regulations are identified.

Inspections play a vital role in the context of California assisted living licensing compliance as they are key to maintaining the highest standards of care and safety for seniors. Regular and thorough inspections are conducted by regulatory authorities to assess whether assisted living facilities meet the required licensing standards and regulations. These inspections help identify any potential issues, deficiencies, or violations within the facilities, ensuring prompt corrective actions and improvements are implemented.
