Oct 4, 2026 edition · GC-2026-0138 · Published 2026-10-04 · Version 2 · Announced
Fourteen September 21–25 CDPH citations remained open in the October 4 export, including patient-care, unreported-abuse and record-falsification categories.
What happened
The complete CDPH export captured October 4 lists 14 citations issued September 21–25 across 13 facilities; Intercommunity Care Center has two. All 14 rows show Open dispositions. The largest listed amounts are a $60,000 Class A patient-care citation at Intercommunity and a $75,000 trebled Class A patient-care citation at Sunnyside Nursing Center, increased from an initial $25,000. Coral Cove Post Acute has a $3,500 Willful Material Falsification citation. These are assessed amounts and classifications in the administrative export, not evidence of completed payment or a final appeal outcome.
The six Abuse/Facility Not Self Reported rows concern Lindsay Gardens, Solaria Care–Auburn, Southland, Capital Post Acute, Intercommunity and Sharon Care Center. The export includes skilled nursing facilities, a pediatric day health and respite facility, and an intermediate care facility for people with developmental disabilities; it should not be treated as 14 nursing-home cases. Violation dates predate the penalty issue dates. The categories and cited provisions identify areas for review, but the export does not provide full factual narratives, resident outcomes or corrective-action details. Those require the individual citation documents.
