Sections cited by area groups the regulation the State cited each time, from its licensing download, under that section's heading in California's rules for assisted living (Title 22), for example medications and medical care (section 87465, Incidental Medical and Dental Care Services), staffing (87411, Personnel Requirements), personal rights (87468.1 and 87468.2), dementia care (87705) and background checks (87355); the years are the span of its plan-of-correction dates, and the counts can run a little higher than the Type A and Type B total.
