Since 2024, state inspectors have cited The Hills of Santa Teresa 24 times (17 serious, 7 minor) and confirmed 7 complaints across 30 inspections. The most persistent pattern in these records involves money: across three separate complaint investigations, inspectors confirmed that staff paychecks repeatedly arrived late and bounced, with bank records showing multiple returned checks between April and June 2025 and again in March 2026. Staff told inspectors they sometimes couldn't buy groceries for residents because the account had insufficient funds, and court documents showed a judgment against the licensee for unpaid rent. The previous administrator left over non-payment, at least one caregiver resigned for the same reason, and residents told inspectors they noticed familiar staff were gone and were frustrated by the changes. Inspectors also cited the home for a worker on shift who wasn't on its required roster, for a ceiling fan that wasn't working and a dripping faucet, and for a hole in an outdoor bench. A complaint that the home had not trimmed overgrown trees in its backyard was also confirmed.
