Golden Star Home has 27 state citations (11 serious, 16 minor) and 3 verified complaints across 13 inspections since 2021. The most serious substantiated complaint, closed in 2025, found the facility failed to notify the state after a resident was transported to the hospital twice in September 2023 via 911, once for a seizure and once for blood in their stool. A 2024 inspection found unauthorized latches on both the front and back doors that prevented residents from exiting, and the front door audio alert required for residents with wandering behaviors had been turned off. A February 2025 visit found an individual receiving care and medication at the facility with no resident records on file. Food safety deficiencies appear across multiple inspections, including a 2025 annual inspection that found live bugs and rodent droppings inside a rice container; unsecured knives accessible to residents were cited again in the most recent February 2026 inspection as a repeat violation, with a civil penalty assessed. As of March 2026, an administrator change is in process and the facility has engaged with regulators on pest control and food storage practices.
