Buck Serenity Homes has 12 state citations and 4 verified complaints since 2021 across 10 inspections. The most significant finding involves a wildfire evacuation on August 19, 2020: the facility gave families an emergency plan that differed from the one on file with state regulators, and when a mandatory evacuation was ordered, staff did not follow the CCL-registered evacuation sites or transportation plan, instead contacting responsible parties of 2 residents to arrange their own transportation. Annual inspections in 2022 and 2023, both focused on infection control, found the facility clean and in compliance. The April 2025 inspection noted a resident bathroom with water temperature below the required 105-120°F range. The most recent inspection in March 2026 found chemicals and toxins unsecured in 2 resident bathrooms accessible to residents, resulting in a deficiency citation, along with a technical violation for food items without visible expiration dates.
