13 state citations (5 serious, 8 minor) and 6 verified complaints since 2021 across 17 inspections. The most significant early finding involved a staff member substantiated for financially abusing a resident, including accepting personal checks and raising monthly fees without the required 60-day written notice. A separate 2021 complaint found that care logs for 3 of 8 sampled residents did not match their documented care needs. Also in late 2021, inspectors cited unsafe storage of a steak knife in the memory care kitchen and a disinfecting spray bottle accessible to residents with dementia, along with an overdue medical assessment and an incomplete resident health record. A January 2026 investigation found that 3 elevator entrapment incidents in November 2025 were never reported to the state as required, resulting in a citation. Recent annual inspections in 2024, 2025, and April 2026 found the facility clean, well-maintained, and in good repair, with medications properly secured and required safety equipment in place. A 2025 complaint alleging rough handling of a resident was investigated and found unfounded.
