Inspection Report Summary
Most inspections at Serenity Board and Care Facility found no deficiencies, including the most recent clean reports in 2021 and 2022. Some deficiencies were noted in later inspections, primarily involving medication management and environmental issues such as rodent droppings and structural repairs. The most serious finding occurred in August 2024 when a resident was allowed to stay without completed fingerprint clearance, posing a health and safety risk, though no fines or enforcement actions were listed. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including one in February 2021 regarding refund issuance after a resident’s death. The latest report from July 29, 2025, cited minor deficiencies but showed prompt corrective action on medication security, indicating some improvement in addressing issues over time.
