14 state citations (3 serious, 11 minor) and 8 verified complaints since 2021 across 47 inspections. Among the substantiated findings: in 2021, a resident fell and sustained extensive bruising including a facial hematoma requiring medical attention, and declined significantly in condition afterward. In 2022, investigators confirmed a separate fall incident in which only 1 caregiver was present for a resident requiring total assistance, with no additional fall mitigation measures in place beyond a call button the resident routinely removed. That same year, mold was confirmed in the facility's walk-in refrigerator, with evidence it had been present since at least January 2022. In 2023, a hot water outage affecting multiple resident rooms was substantiated, with inspectors finding the facility's corrective timeline unreasonable. More recent complaints from 2024 and 2025 covering allegations of inadequate staffing, billing irregularities, and care quality were investigated and found unsubstantiated.
