FYI Safety Score

0.0 Poor

48 state citations and 44 verified complaints since 2021 across 102 inspections. The most recent serious citation, issued in November 2025, found the facility failed to update a resident's care appraisal despite a documented change in condition, resulting in multiple falls attributed to neglect. A separate August 2025 investigation substantiated that recliners in the memory care unit were torn and heavily stained, and that a broken elevator had been out of service for over a year with the emergency elevator blocked by clutter. October 2024 inspections substantiated hazardous physical conditions on the memory care floors, including broken and missing floor tiles posing a trip risk, an exposed dryer flame from a missing appliance cover, and broken furniture throughout. That same month, a dog running loose in a hallway caused a resident to fall. In 2021, the facility was cited after failing to reassess an aggressively behaving resident for 2 years, during which that resident caused injuries to multiple other residents and a staff member, and separately for extensive carpet staining and possible mold on all 3 floors.
