Serra Highlands Senior Living has 15 state citations and 6 verified complaints since 2022 across 27 inspections. The most recent substantiated finding, from March 2026, confirmed that 2 med-techs administered medications to residents before completing the required 16 hours of initial training, and the facility could not provide documentation showing med-techs receive the required annual on-the-job medication training. A complaint substantiated in March 2025 found a non-functioning heating unit in at least 1 resident room and in the second-floor communal area, with space heaters deployed as a substitute while HVAC repairs were being arranged. An annual inspection in April 2025 noted the administrator's certificate had expired, though renewal was already in process, and the deficiencies cited during that visit were cleared at a follow-up inspection the same month. Earlier citations from 2022 included minor violations related to facility advertising and license number requirements.
