Golden Retreat has received 2 state citations across 6 inspections since 2022, with no complaints filed. The most significant finding came from an April 2024 case management visit in which an inspector found 2 staff members working without proper fingerprint clearance and without being registered to the facility; both were removed from the premises immediately and a $1,000 civil penalty was assessed. A citation was issued as a result. The second citation from the same period was classified as minor. Routine annual inspections in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 found the physical plant, food storage, safety equipment, and resident documentation consistently in order, with hot water temperatures, smoke detectors, and locked hazardous materials all meeting state requirements. The facility is currently operating at full capacity under Administrator Dragana Lekovic.
