Sep 27, 2026 edition · GC-2026-0138 · Published 2026-09-27 · Version 2 · Announced
Fourteen CDPH citations issued September 21–25 identify $115,500 in initial assessments across thirteen facilities, with care, reporting and record-integrity categories; later status or balance is not established at this cutoff.

What happened
CDPH records identify fourteen citations issued September 21–25, 2026 across thirteen facilities, with two at Intercommunity Care Center. The recorded initial assessment amounts total $115,500. They include $60,000 for one Intercommunity patient-care citation, $25,000 for Sunnyside Nursing Center and $3,500 for Coral Cove Post Acute’s Willful Material Falsification citation. These are initial amounts attached to dated issuance records, not collections or proof of final appeal outcomes. A later export does not establish the historical Open/Closed status, balances or timing of any increases.
Six Abuse/Facility Not Self Reported rows concern Lindsay Gardens, Solaria Care–Auburn, Southland, Capital Post Acute, Intercommunity and Sharon Care Center. The facilities include skilled nursing, pediatric day health/respite and intermediate care for people with developmental disabilities, so this is not fourteen nursing-home cases. Violation dates predate the issue dates. Categories and legal references support targeted review but do not supply complete incident narratives, resident outcomes or corrective plans; those require the underlying citations.

Recommended action
