What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 7 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on January 19, 2026. For example: The facility has written policies and procedures as prescribed by the regulation [RCR Sec 85(2)(b-l)]

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Many jurisdictions require a trained or certified person on site, such as a certified food handler. These findings mean the training record or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean anything was handled unsafely.

    Recorded 5 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 25, 2025. For example: The MSAC establishes and reviews training, orientation programs, and policies and procedures [RCR Sec 68(3);DOLSOP Preventing Opioid Overdose]

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded 6 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 25, 2025. For example: When a manager resigns or is absent for more than 30 consecutive days notification to Community Care Facilities Licensing has been given and there is a replacement [RCR Sec 8(3)]
