20 state citations (13 serious, 7 minor) and 6 verified complaints since 2024 across 21 inspections. The most significant and recurring finding involves the licensee's financial instability: multiple verified complaints, confirmed through staff interviews and bank records, document that staff paychecks were repeatedly delayed and bounced due to insufficient funds, prompting staff resignations, a leave of absence, and a court judgment against the licensee for unpaid rent. An April 2026 complaint confirmed the payroll failures continued into March 2026. A January 2026 investigation found night shift staff sleeping while residents with complex care needs were in the facility, including a resident requiring total supervision and others with feeding tubes and colostomy bags. Additional citations include a recordkeeping violation for an unregistered staff member working at the facility (July 2025), maintenance deficiencies including a broken ceiling fan, dripping bathroom faucet, and damaged outdoor furniture (July 2025), and a verified complaint for failing to maintain backyard landscaping (October 2025). The facility changed ownership in mid-2024 under the current licensee.
