State inspectors have cited Marbella Visalia 39 times (22 serious, 17 minor) and confirmed 21 complaints across 41 visits. The most serious findings involve physical harm and financial abuse. In 2024, a resident suffered multiple fractures after staff repeatedly used one person for transfers instead of following the required two-person care plan; staff acknowledged to inspectors they had continued the unsafe practice. That same year, inspectors confirmed that staff handled residents roughly, injuring one, and made threatening remarks toward residents who raised concerns. In 2025, investigators found the home had taken two of a resident's personal checks and deposited them into the facility's own bank account, which inspectors cited as financial exploitation. Separately, multiple residents reported money and valuables stolen; inspectors confirmed the home had not reported all of those incidents to police or the state, and a staff member was terminated. A 2025 investigation also found that the home was sharing residents' personal information with outside Medi-Cal program agencies without telling the residents first. A 2024 inspection cited the home for a kitchen sink disposal that had been broken for a month with no scheduled repair. Inspectors also found the home failed to return a departing resident's money within the timeframe spelled out in the contract. Many other complaints were looked into and not supported by the evidence.
