Wonder's Years has 8 state citations and 6 verified complaints since 2021 across 17 inspections. The most recent substantiated finding, from February 2026, determined that the administrator permitted a caregiver to work without a required criminal background clearance, a fact the administrator acknowledged to the investigator. In late 2022, 2 serious citations were issued: one for staff failing to accord a resident dignity in personal relationships, and one for administering sleeping medications earlier than scheduled, with an investigator observing residents already sedated at 5:52 PM and one resident stating "They gave my pills too early again." A June 2023 complaint was substantiated after investigators confirmed the facility had not provided a required admission agreement to a resident, with a staff member directly acknowledging the omission. A 2022 case management visit also found cameras installed in resident rooms without proper authorization; the administrator removed them at the inspector's direction. Of the 8 total citations, 4 were classified as serious.
