5 minor state citations and 0 verified complaints since 2021 across 12 inspections. The state investigated 5 complaints during this period, none of which were substantiated. Investigators looked into a 2024 allegation that residents were not receiving scheduled showers; after interviewing residents and staff and reviewing shower logs, the complaint was found unfounded, as residents confirmed receiving showers on their scheduled days. A 2025 complaint investigated a series of 3 consecutive-day falls by 1 resident in September 2023; the resident was hospitalized after the third fall but sustained no injuries, and staff reported increasing checks after the first fall to prevent further incidents. A 2026 complaint alleged a resident's family member was emotionally coercive; interviews with the resident, hospice staff, and facility personnel found no evidence of mistreatment, and the complaint was not substantiated. Routine inspections consistently found the facility clean, organized, and in compliance, with the most recent annual inspection completed in April 2026.

Reviewers noted the facility relies on ambulance dispatch rather than on-call nursing staff for after-hours emergencies. Ask specifically how overnight medical events are handled.
