The Redwoods

The Redwoods has operated for more than 45 years with a mixed compliance record that shows significant improvement in recent years. Over the facility's entire licensed period, state inspectors documented 6 Type A citations (serious violations affecting resident safety or care) and 4 Type B citations (administrative or non-serious findings), along with one substantiated allegation from complaint investigations. However, the past three years show a markedly cleaner trajectory, with no Type A citations and no substantiated allegations since 2022, despite continued routine inspections and complaint investigations by CDSS that examine areas like resident care plans and medication management. The family should ask the community what specific corrective actions were implemented to address the earlier serious violations and how those improvements are being maintained. With roughly one-third of investigated allegations substantiated historically, families may also want to understand what quality assurance measures are now in place. The recent record suggests stronger compliance practices at this large residential care community, but the earlier pattern of serious citations warrants discussion during any facility tour.
