16 state citations (11 serious, 5 minor) and 7 verified complaints since 2025 across 17 inspections. The most serious findings center on financial instability: state investigators substantiated that the facility lacked liability insurance and did not maintain sufficient financial resources to cover operating costs, with the licensee acknowledging rent was frequently paid late and significant funds were diverted to legal fees. A civil penalty was assessed in October 2025 after the licensee failed to comply with a required plan of correction. A February 2026 complaint inspection also found that 3 of 3 resident files were missing required Functional Capabilities Assessments, and medication administration records were unavailable due to a transition to new management in January 2026. By April 2026, all residents had been relocated to another of the licensee's facilities and the facility was empty, with a change-of-ownership application in process and no residents in care as of the most recent inspection.
