8 minor state citations and 6 verified complaints since 2023 across 9 inspections, with no serious citations on record. The most significant findings, concentrated in early 2025, included medications being dispensed weekly into pill boxes rather than administered as prescribed, hot water temperatures above the 120-degree regulatory limit in all 3 bathrooms and the kitchen, and an electrical outlet that sparked during an inspection visit. State inspectors also found that 2 caregivers had not received required training at the facility, with staff files containing no completed training documents. A separate complaint visit found a rear heating unit inoperable and noted overflowing waste bins. By May 2025, a follow-up clearance visit confirmed all 3 formal deficiencies had been corrected: medications are now packaged by the pharmacy, water temperatures tested within range, and electrical outlets showed no faults. The facility's most recent annual inspection in September 2025 found all areas clean, safe, and in good repair, with resident files and staff records in compliance.
