Golden Valley Residential Care Facility

Golden Valley Residential Care Facility's 20-year operating history shows a mixed compliance record with recent improvement. Over the entire licensed period, the community received 7 Type A citations (serious violations affecting resident safety or care) and 4 Type B citations (administrative or non-serious findings), which represents a concerning pattern for a small 6-bed facility. However, the trajectory has strengthened significantly — no Type A citations have been issued in the past three years despite regular CDSS inspections that check areas like resident care plans and medication management. The facility has not been subject to any complaint investigations during its two decades of operation, and no allegations against the community have ever been substantiated. While the lifetime record warrants discussion with the facility about what corrective actions were implemented, the recent clean inspection record suggests more consistent compliance with state safety and care standards. Families should ask the facility directly about the nature of the earlier serious violations and what systems were put in place to prevent recurrence.
