7.4 Fair

St. Paul's Villa has received 2 state citations and 4 verified complaints since 2021 across 16 inspections. Both citations involve medication management: in March 2025, a minor citation was issued after investigators confirmed a resident did not receive their medication at the prescribed time and in the correct dosage; in June 2025, a serious citation followed a substantiated complaint that staff failed to assist a resident with self-administered medications as required. The Director of Nursing implemented medication training for staff following each finding. A 2023 complaint documented an infectious skin condition spreading among residents in the memory care unit; the facility responded by treating all affected residents and staff and consulting with the California Department of Public Health. Annual inspections in 2022, 2024, and 2025 found no deficiencies. Of the 12 total complaints filed since 2021, 8 were investigated and found unsubstantiated, including allegations of illegal eviction and neglect related to a resident fall.
