Rae's Cottage At Brea

Rae's Cottage At Brea has operated with one serious violation and one substantiated allegation over its nearly six years of operation, but the recent record shows significant improvement. The community received one Type A citation (serious violation affecting resident safety or care) and had one complaint investigation that resulted in a substantiated allegation, both occurring in 2022. However, no Type A citations or substantiated allegations have occurred in the past three years, indicating a stronger compliance trajectory under state oversight of areas like resident care plans and medication management. The facility has undergone four routine inspections since licensing in 2020, with only one additional Type B citation (administrative or non-serious finding) across its entire operating period. Families should ask the community what specific corrective actions were taken following the 2022 substantiated allegation and how those measures have been maintained to prevent recurrence. For a small six-bed facility, this recent clean record suggests improved adherence to care and safety standards after addressing earlier compliance gaps.
