9 state citations and 3 verified complaints since 2022 across 11 inspections. The most serious findings involve medication management: a 2025 annual inspection found medications pre-poured for two days ahead with incorrect dates, and a substantiated October 2025 complaint found that a resident unable to self-administer was given 5 doses of as-needed narcotic pain medication all at once, that pre-issued medication was stored in candy containers, and that multiple staff worked without completed background clearances. A December 2025 follow-up visit found that one of those unclearanced staff members was still routinely present, and that the medication cart and cabinet were left unlocked. A July 2025 complaint also found that a witnessed fall resulting in a fracture was not reported to the state as required. 3 other complaints, from January 2026 and April 2026, were investigated and found unsubstantiated, with inspectors observing clean conditions, staff following care plans, and adequate infection control practices. The facility expanded its licensed capacity from 6 to 8 residents in mid-2025.
