FYI Safety Score

0.3 Poor

37 state citations (18 serious, 19 minor) and 26 verified complaints since 2021 across 70 inspections. The most recent substantiated findings, from August 2025, include the facility refusing to accept a resident back following hospitalization and a 2-day delay in administering a physician-ordered antibiotic after it arrived on-site. Inspectors also cited a failure to address resident council concerns in writing since January 2025. In August 2023, investigators found memory care was understaffed on certain shifts, with only 1 caregiver scheduled on days when multiple residents required 2-person assists. A separate August 2023 investigation found a resident went without a prescribed medication for 3 consecutive days because the medication technician responsible was undertrained and unaware of where the medication was stored; that same inspection noted soiled carpets and peeling ceiling paint. In September 2023, the facility failed to notify the local Ombudsman of resident physical assaults, having used an incorrect fax number, and did not notify responsible parties of each incident. The facility has operated under at least 4 different executive directors since 2022.
