FYI Safety Score

3.6 Severe

Sterling Senior Community 9 has recorded 12 state citations (4 serious, 8 minor) and 3 verified complaints since 2022 across 9 inspections. The most recent findings, from April 2026, include a resident using a wheelchair lap restraint without a physician's order, with the administrator unaware the restraint was in use and staff giving conflicting accounts of how long it was applied each day; full bed rails installed on a second resident's bed without the required medical authorization; and 2 prescription topical medications not available at the facility at the time of the visit. A November 2024 annual inspection found the facility operating without an active administrator, as the prior administrator's certificate had expired 8 months earlier. The facility underwent a change of ownership in 2022, and a new administrator was in place by the October 2025 annual inspection.
