Lerwick Home Care has accumulated 15 state citations (9 serious, 6 minor) and 1 verified complaint since 2023 across 11 inspections, with the most recent visit in February 2026. The verified complaint, substantiated in January 2024, found that the administrator had used a resident's debit card to make multiple withdrawals and wrote checks from the resident's bank account; those findings led to a Non-Compliance Conference in March 2024 and enrollment in the state's Technical Support Program. Inspectors have repeatedly cited unlocked knives and hazardous chemicals, including at the January 2024 annual inspection and a case management visit in March 2026, with a civil penalty assessed on the latter occasion. A February 2026 visit also found the front door secured with a padlock, drawing an immediate $500 civil penalty. The December 2025 annual inspection found the facility clean and in good repair, with medications and chemicals properly secured at that time.
