Federal inspections (CMS-2567)
CDPH surveys certified ICFs for CMS. Each deficiency is a W-tag (a federal ICF/IID requirement), an E-tag (emergency preparedness) or a K-tag (Life Safety Code), cited at the standard level or, more seriously, the condition level. How to read an ICF inspection
Content note: these federal findings describe residents' care and can include abuse, neglect, injuries and medical details. They're shown as CMS published them; residents are identified only by number (such as "Client 1").

From CMS's QCOR ICF/IID statement-of-deficiency download, saved Oct 26, 2026. CMS notes that ICF/IID data after March 19, 2026 may be incomplete while its systems migrate. Plans of correction and state-only (licensing) deficiencies aren't in that file; the official 2567 documents on CalHealthFind have them.
Complaints and reported incidents
CDPH doesn't publish complaints or facility-reported incidents as a bulk file, so they aren't on ICFLookup. Its CalHealthFind page for this facility lists them (intake date, allegation category and whether each was substantiated), along with state licensing deficiencies and ownership details.
Federal surveys that came from a complaint or an incident report do appear above, marked "Complaint" as the survey type.
