The most significant substantiated findings involve recurring pest infestations: in 2021, state inspectors confirmed active cockroaches in resident rooms and the kitchen, noting it as a repeated violation and assessing civil penalties, while a separate substantiated complaint that same year documented bed bugs affecting multiple residents. Also in 2021, inspectors found head lice in 4 of 6 residents, resulting in a citation for unsafe accommodations. In 2023, inspectors substantiated that 8 of 12 resident rooms exceeded 85 degrees Fahrenheit during a summer visit, with 1 room measured at 91 degrees, due to air conditioning not yet installed throughout the facility. A second 2023 substantiated complaint cited unsanitary conditions tied to a recurrence of bed bugs, with the facility directed to provide ongoing pest treatment reports to the state. The most recent inspection was January 6, 2026.
