Pendar'S Residential Care

6 beds • Est. 2007 (18 years)


FYI Safety Score

4.7 Poor

Pendar's Residential Care has 16 state citations (9 serious, 7 minor) and 3 verified complaints since 2021 across 14 inspections. The most serious and most recent findings include a January 2025 elopement in which a resident exited the facility and was found 0.2 miles away; inspectors found that both staff on duty left the building to retrieve the resident and temporarily asked a cognitively impaired resident to supervise 3 others, and that the resident's care plan had not been updated since 2023 to address the new elopement behavior. A March 2025 complaint investigation involved a resident pulling out their own catheter, causing severe bodily harm that required a 911 response and hospitalization. The July 2025 annual inspection cited an unlocked kitchen drawer containing knives and toxic cleaning products under the sink, both accessible to residents and cited as serious violations; a follow-up August 2025 visit confirmed those deficiencies were cleared. Earlier 2023 findings included an outdated physician's report, a missing functional capabilities form, and a loose exterior handrail.
