AI summary

Read Full Summary
  • Track record — Over 38 years of licensed operation, Tamalpais accumulated 6 Type A findings (the state's most severe citation class, tied to resident safety or care) and 3 Type B findings (administrative issues like paperwork or posting gaps).
  • Recent 3 years — None of the Type A or Type B findings fall within the past three years, and the sole complaint investigation in that window was not substantiated, suggesting a stronger recent trajectory than the lifetime total alone would imply.
  • Complaints — Of the 10 complaint investigations filed over the community's history, only 1 allegation was substantiated (roughly 9%), 9 were unsubstantiated, and 1 was unfounded.
  • Operating tenure — With more than three decades of continuous licensure and a large 341-bed campus spanning assisted living, memory care, and independent living, the lifetime findings should be read against a long operating history and substantial scale.
Ask the community
  1. 1.Can you walk us through what led to the Type A citations earlier in the community's history and what changed operationally since then?
  2. 2.Which category did the one substantiated allegation fall under, and what corrective action was verified by the state?
  3. 3.What specific practices or staffing changes account for the clean inspection record over the past three years?
