Respit Manor has 5 state citations and 1 verified complaint since 2022 across 9 inspections, including 2 serious and 3 minor citations. The verified complaint, substantiated in October 2025, involved an allegation that a staff member made inappropriate physical contact with a resident while providing care; the Department conducted that investigation jointly with the Orange County Sheriff's office. In January 2026, a case management visit found that a caregiver had been working at the facility 6 days per week since December 2025 without being properly registered with the state, resulting in a cited recordkeeping deficiency and civil penalty. Annual inspections in 2022, 2024, 2025, and most recently February 2026 found the facility generally meeting physical plant and safety requirements, with operational smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers up to date, adequate food stocks on hand, and resident rooms maintained in good repair.
