Atria at Foster Square recorded 14 state citations (3 serious, 11 minor) and 8 verified complaints since 2021 across 33 inspections. The most serious documented finding involved a June 2022 incident in which memory care residents missed scheduled morning medications after multiple med techs called out simultaneously during a COVID outbreak; state investigators substantiated the allegation in April 2023. In early 2022, 2 verified complaints confirmed communication failures tied to the same resident: staff contacted an out-of-state emergency contact rather than the local responsible party during a hospitalization, and the facility did not respond promptly to the family's request for records, with citations issued in both cases. In May 2024, investigators found that staff had locked a resident's toothbrush and toothpaste, citing safety, despite those items being approved as safe; the facility acknowledged the error and a citation was issued for restricting access to personal possessions. Annual inspections in December 2023 and December 2024 found the facility compliant across medications, food storage, fire safety, and chemical storage.
