11 state citations (5 serious, 6 minor) and 1 verified complaint since 2022 across 13 inspections. The most significant finding was a substantiated 2024 complaint in which a staff member dispensed medications into cups, placed them in front of residents at the dining table, and walked away without supervising residents afterward. A 2025 annual inspection found a staff member on shift who lacked fingerprint clearance, resulting in immediate civil penalties. That same year, inspectors noted keypads on multiple interior and exterior doors that were not functioning, meaning doors opened without requiring a code. A May 2025 informal meeting at the regional office was convened to discuss facility-wide concerns including licensee accountability, client records, food service, and fingerprint clearance. Water temperatures have repeatedly measured above safe thresholds across multiple inspections (113-116 degrees F). The most recent inspection in March 2026 found a torn window screen and a damaged kitchen wall in need of repair, though the facility was otherwise observed to be clean and odor free with 3 residents in care.
