The audit your salesperson hopes you never run.
A free, California-first directory of every licensed assisted-living facility — with the inspection violations, complaint history, and price ranges the referral sites won’t show you. Built from public state records. No phone-share. No paid rankings. No salespeople.
“Popular assisted-living referral service A Place for Mom glosses over neglect — more than a third of its highest-rated homes have been cited for substandard care.”

Showing 30 of 30 facilities — sorted by Care Audit Score, descending.
A rubric you can read, posted on the record.
Each Type A citation costs 25 points.
Type A is the state’s designation for citations involving immediate risk of harm — medication errors, elopement, failure to investigate abuse. We weight these the heaviest.
22 CCR § 87761 · −25 each
Each Type B citation costs 8 points.
Type B citations are procedural or moderate — expired TB clearances, posted-rule omissions, late records. We count them, but lighter, because they’re common in well-run facilities.

Substantiated complaints cost 10.
CDSS investigates every complaint and labels the outcome. Substantiated ones reflect real, verified problems — even when no citation followed. We surface them too.

Clean records earn time bonuses.
A facility with no citations in the last 24 months gains 5 points; 36 months earns 10. We reward sustained cleanliness because one bad year doesn’t define a facility forever.
