FYI Safety Score

5.0 Below Average

31 state citations (3 serious, 28 minor) and 3 verified complaints since 2021 across 17 inspections. The 2 verified complaints from January 2024 are the most significant findings: inspectors confirmed that medications were stored unlocked and accessible to residents, staff had not received required medication training, and residents were served expired food. A July 2024 case management visit found that a resident with wandering risk had exited through a side bedroom door undetected because the alarm system was not functioning and the caregiver on duty did not hear an alert. A June 2025 annual inspection cited deficiencies in staff training files, building and grounds, and missing fingerprint clearance records for a staff member. An August 2025 informal office meeting was convened by state licensing management to discuss recently identified operational concerns. A 2024 follow-up visit found deficiencies from the annual inspection had been corrected. The facility has operated under at least 2 administrators during this period, with Margaret Gardea-Benavidas serving as administrator for more recent inspections.
