FYI Safety Score

2.1 Severe

Braswell's Chateau Villa has 21 state citations (12 serious, 9 minor) and 11 verified complaints since 2021 across 69 inspections, with the most recent completed February 13, 2026. A substantiated finding from November 2023 confirmed that a temporary staffing shortage left residents' rooms uncleaned, with 1 housekeeper covering 70 rooms after another was terminated and a second was absent for 3 consecutive days; the facility was cited under Title 22 regulations for failure to maintain required room cleaning services. Recent complaint investigations from 2024 and 2025 addressed allegations including bed bug infestations, medication management failures, hygiene assistance, room sanitation, and failure to monitor residents for changes in condition; state investigators found all of these unsubstantiated after interviewing residents and staff, with most interviews indicating care was being provided as required.
