FYI Safety Score™

4.8 Poor

Citrus Place recorded 10 state citations (3 serious, 7 minor) and 8 verified complaints since 2021 across 26 inspections. The most recent verified findings, from late 2024, include a December incident in which staff deferred to a resident's power of attorney and delayed contacting emergency services following an injury; as the resident's swelling increased over several hours, staff eventually called medical personnel and the resident was transported to the hospital for evaluation. A November 2024 complaint investigation produced minor citations for ongoing ceiling leaks in a resident's room that posed a health and safety risk and for the premises not being maintained in good repair. State investigators also examined allegations of staff verbal abuse, resident neglect, inadequate food quality, air conditioning failures, and restricted community access; these allegations were not substantiated based on staff interviews, resident interviews, and records reviewed.
