21 state citations (14 serious, 7 minor) and 0 verified complaints since 2022 across 9 inspections. The most significant findings came from March 2024, when inspectors issued civil penalties after discovering 2 bedridden residents housed in rooms without the required fire clearance for bedridden occupants. During the same visit, 1 resident had unstageable pressure injuries on both heels, hospice care plans for 2 residents lacked required physician signatures, and only 2 hours of dementia training were on file for staff caring for residents with dementia. A May 2024 annual inspection found a secondary lock added to the front door to contain a wandering resident, the delay-egress system disabled on both the front and garage doors, and no delay-egress device on the back door. A 2023 annual inspection cited errors in a resident's centrally stored medication administration records. The most recent annual inspection on record, conducted in April 2025, found the facility clean, in good repair, and medications properly stored, with no deficiencies noted in the report.
