Redwood Retreat

Over more than 13 years of operation, Redwood Retreat's compliance record shows a concerning pattern of serious violations in its earlier years followed by significant recent improvement. The community accumulated 5 Type A citations (serious violations affecting resident safety or care) and 8 Type B citations (administrative or non-serious findings) across its licensed period, which is elevated for a 15-bed facility and indicates past issues with areas like resident care plans and medication management. However, the trajectory has notably improved — there have been no Type A citations in the past three years, suggesting the community has addressed its earlier compliance challenges. The recent record from 2023 through 2025 shows clean inspections covering life safety and staff training protocols, which provides some reassurance about current operations. Families should ask the community directly about what corrective actions were implemented to address the earlier serious violations and request documentation showing how those improvements have been sustained. The long operating history combined with the cleaner recent performance suggests the facility has learned from past deficiencies, though the earlier pattern of serious findings warrants thorough discussion during any visit.
