FYI Safety Score

7.7 Fair

Cogswell Garden Home has 12 state citations (5 serious, 7 minor) and 12 verified complaints since 2021 across 13 inspections. The most serious finding involved a resident hospitalized in early 2021 with 6 pressure injuries, including stage 4 wounds, that records showed had developed while in care; the facility was cited for retaining a resident with a prohibited health condition, failing to provide prompt medical treatment, and failing to maintain adequate records. A separate 2021 complaint found that a resident's prescribed blood pressure medication was not administered as directed that morning. In 2024, multiple complaints found that staff did not follow required PKU diet orders for 2 residents and failed to implement their Individual Program Plans, failures the administrator acknowledged despite those care directives dating to 2016. The 2 most recent annual inspections, in September 2024 and August 2025, noted no deficiencies.
