2 minor state citations and 1 verified complaint across 6 inspections since 2021. The verified complaint, filed in early 2022, found that facility staff refused to allow a resident to return following hospital discharge and medical clearance, citing a lack of an isolation room during the COVID-19 period; no required eviction notice was issued and no guidance was sought from the regional office before denying re-entry, as required under state guidelines. The 2 minor citations are not detailed in the available narratives. Annual inspections across 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 found the facility's physical plant consistently clean and well-maintained, with locked storage for medications and sharp objects, adequate food supply, functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and proper infection control measures in place.
