FYI Safety Score

5.8 Poor

15 state citations (8 serious, 7 minor) and 1 verified complaint across 14 inspections since 2022. The verified complaint, substantiated in December 2024, found that staff had not administered residents' medications as directed by their physicians, resulting in a serious citation. A November 2023 annual inspection found a medication cart left unlocked and accessible and assessed a $1,000 civil penalty for a repeat violation of hazardous material storage rules. An April 2023 inspection cited paint cans stored in an unlocked bathroom cabinet and staff working in the facility without completed background clearance transfers. In April 2025, inspectors found that a wrought iron kitchen gate had been installed without being part of the facility's fire clearance and measured a resident bathroom hot water temperature of 119 degrees F. State regulators held an informal meeting with the licensee in May 2025 to address ongoing concerns including licensure accountability, client records, and fire clearance compliance. A March 2025 routine inspection found the facility clean and issued no deficiencies.
