3 state citations (1 serious, 2 minor) and 1 verified complaint since 2021 across 29 inspections. The most serious finding involved a December 2024 fall incident in which a high-fall-risk resident was found on the floor with the bed alarm either turned off or malfunctioning, despite the care plan requiring its consistent use as a fall prevention measure. The caregiver returned the resident to bed without a medical evaluation or staff notification, in violation of the facility's fall response protocol, and later acknowledged awareness of the policy but admitted not acting in accordance with it. A June 2025 complaint investigation related to kitchen hygiene practices and appliance maintenance found no issues: inspectors observed staff following proper handwashing procedures and found all kitchen appliances in working order, with a recently repaired freezer handled promptly without any food spoilage.
