Sta. Rita's Senior Care

Over more than 20 years of operation, Sta. Rita's Senior Care has accumulated a concerning compliance record that requires careful family scrutiny. The facility has received 2 Type A citations (serious violations affecting resident safety or care) and 4 Type B citations (administrative or non-serious findings) across 6 routine inspections, with recent activity showing the most serious Type A citation occurred during a complaint investigation in the past three years. Of particular concern, 5 allegations against the facility have been substantiated by state investigators, with all 5 of these substantiated findings occurring in the recent period — families should ask the facility which categories of allegations were substantiated and what specific corrective actions were taken and verified. The substantiation rate of roughly 63% of investigated allegations suggests that most complaints brought forward had merit. Given this pattern of recent substantiated allegations and a serious citation from complaint investigations, families should request detailed information about the facility's quality improvement efforts and current oversight measures, particularly around resident care plans and medication management where small residential facilities often face challenges.
