What the state record means
- Type A citation: the state’s form defines these as violations “that if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety or personal rights of clients in care” (CDSS form LIC 9099).
- Type B citation: violations that, without correction, could become a risk to residents, or recordkeeping violations that affect their care (LIC 9099).
- Substantiated: the state found the complaint “represents factual events that require action by the licensee, the Department, or other agencies.” Unsubstantiated means the evidence was not enough to compel further action; it does not mean the event did not happen. Unfounded means the complaint was without merit (CDSS PIN 19-01-CCLD).
If a resident was hurt
A resident, or the family after a death, can bring negligence and wrongful death claims against an assisted living home, and an elder abuse claim when the neglect or abuse was reckless, oppressive, fraudulent or malicious, which allows added remedies, including attorney fees (Welfare and Institutions Code 15657). The state licensing file, the resident’s records and the home’s incident reports are usually the core evidence. Talk to a Los Angeles assisted living abuse lawyer →
