The Courtyard at Little Chico Creek

The Courtyard at Little Chico Creek has operated for more than 27 years with a mixed compliance record that includes one serious violation affecting resident safety or care (Type A citation) and five administrative or non-serious findings (Type B citations) across six state inspections. The community has faced seven complaint investigations during its licensed period, with three substantiated allegations—ask the administrator which categories of allegations were substantiated and what corrective actions were taken and verified. While roughly one-third of investigated allegations were substantiated, the recent three-year record shows some improvement, with no Type A citations during that period, though two Type B findings and two substantiated allegations occurred in recent complaint investigations. The state's routine inspections examine areas like resident care plans and medication management, and the facility's long operating history provides substantial data for evaluating its track record. Families should inquire about the nature of the substantiated concerns and the specific steps taken to address them, particularly given that complaint investigations have slightly outnumbered routine inspections over the facility's history.
