Since 2021, state inspectors have visited Joy & Jay Home Care 8 times, issued 1 serious state citation, and looked into several complaints without confirming any. The serious finding came in 2022: while investigating a complaint, inspectors discovered that the administrator, who is legally required to report suspected abuse, had not reported a possible abuse situation to the ombudsman, the state, or local law enforcement. The home was cited for that reporting failure and staff completed corrective training. Annual inspections across those years found the home clean, in good repair, and otherwise in compliance.
