FYI Safety Score

3.2 Severe

30 state citations (9 serious, 21 minor) and 1 verified complaint since 2022 across 9 inspections. The most recent visits in February and March 2026 found a medication error in which a resident received double the prescribed dose of a diabetes medication after family delivered a prescription directly without informing staff, and the error was not documented in facility incident reports. The same period flagged a resident file missing 5 required documents including an admission agreement and current needs and services plan, and pest bait stored alongside food in the kitchen. An unauthorized staff bedroom not on the facility's licensed floor plan or fire clearance was cited in both the 2023 and 2024 annual inspections. Hot water temperatures between 115 and 118 degrees were recorded during 3 consecutive annual inspections from 2023 through 2025. A 2022 verified complaint found the facility refused to readmit a resident returning from the hospital without a required written eviction notice, and a concurrent citation was issued for failing to report the hospitalization to the state.
