FYI Safety Score

6.7 Below Average

13 state citations (5 serious, 8 minor) and 3 verified complaints since 2021 across 24 inspections. The most significant verified complaint, substantiated in 2021, found the facility had overcharged a resident $9,408 for services the resident had not agreed to receive and for which the facility could not produce authorization records. Inspectors also cited medication administration errors in 2022, including a resident receiving an antibiotic 3 times in a single day instead of the prescribed twice-daily schedule. Environmental and maintenance deficiencies account for 2 additional verified findings: a 2023 investigation found thermostats reading up to 7 degrees above their set temperatures, with hallway areas reaching 86°F; and a May 2025 investigation found water temperatures in 4 resident rooms below the state-required minimum of 105°F after approximately 2 months of known plumbing issues. Of 23 total complaints filed since 2021, 20 were investigated and determined to be unsubstantiated or unfounded.
