Almond Heights

Almond Heights has accumulated 11 Type A citations (serious violations affecting resident safety or care) and 7 Type B citations (administrative or non-serious findings) across its 7.2 years of operation, a concerning pattern that warrants careful family discussion with the community. The facility has faced significantly more complaint investigations (31) than routine inspections (6), suggesting an unusually high volume of resident or family concerns that triggered state oversight beyond standard monitoring of life safety and resident care protocols. Six allegations against the community have been substantiated over the licensed period, representing roughly 8% of all investigated complaints, and families should ask the administration which categories of allegations were substantiated and what specific corrective actions were taken and verified. While the recent three-year period shows some improvement with only one Type A citation and two substantiated allegations, this still represents active concerns rather than a fully clean trajectory. The high complaint volume relative to routine inspections indicates this community has required more frequent state attention than typical for a facility of this size, and prospective families should inquire about what operational changes have been implemented to address the underlying issues that generated so many complaints.
