FYI Safety Score

7.4 Fair

Lytton Gardens Community Care has 7 state citations (2 serious, 5 minor) and 3 verified complaints since 2021 across 23 inspections. In August 2024, an inspector measured water temperatures in resident bathroom sinks at up to 161°F and cited the facility for the unsafe levels. A verified complaint from 2022 found that staff had shared a list of resident names, apartment numbers, and phone numbers with outside volunteers without authorization, and that the facility had not posted required COVID notifications in shared spaces including elevators and building entrances. A December 2025 case management visit confirmed that a specific staff member is no longer employed at the facility; no deficiency was cited during that visit. The facility's most recent recorded inspection was March 5, 2026.
