Purisima Hills has recorded 10 state citations (6 serious, 4 minor) and 6 verified complaints across 14 inspections since 2021. The most serious substantiated finding involved a resident with dementia who wandered unsupervised to a home ¼ mile away on multiple occasions through an unalarmed side exit. A 2022 annual inspection found 28 unsecured knives accessible in the kitchen while a resident with dementia was in care, a repeat deficiency from 2019; the administrator initially denied any dementia diagnosis despite physician records showing otherwise. A 2021 complaint found the administrator had cancelled a resident's medical appointment without consent and attempted to attend appointments over the resident's documented objection, resulting in a personal rights citation. A 2025 complaint documented that the facility cashed a $1,250 admission deposit and then refused the prospective resident admission without issuing a refund. The 2 most recent annual inspections, in February 2025 and January 2026, found no deficiencies.
