Las Villas del Norte has 16 state citations (6 serious, 10 minor) and 12 verified complaints since 2021 across 45 inspections. The most serious substantiated finding involved a non-resident male who entered multiple residents' rooms in the memory care unit overnight in December 2021 and sexually assaulted 3 residents, with police responding to the facility. A 2022 investigation found that a resident pressed their call pendant for help and was not acknowledged by staff for over an hour, with 911 responding before staff attended, while 1 staff member was on a FaceTime call with another resident's physician and the second after-hours phone went unanswered. Inspectors also substantiated recurring unsanitary conditions in the memory care unit, including dirty bathroom floors in 2022 due to procedures not being consistently followed, and crusted residue on surfaces in 2023. A housekeeping shortage in summer 2024 led to documented gaps in cleaning the memory care unit. A personal rights violation was cited in November 2022 related to resident freedoms from punishment and interference with daily living.
