FYI Safety Score

3.1 Severe

12 state citations and 7 verified complaints since 2022 across 22 inspections. The most recent findings, from April 2026, are among the most serious: inspectors substantiated that all 10 resident rooms examined had carpet stains and trash scattered throughout, and that the activities program lacked required elements including cognitive stimulation, daily-living skills training, and resident-directed free time -- gaps that are particularly notable given that 15 residents have documented cognitive impairment. Earlier substantiated complaints include 2 instances where residents were transferred or effectively evicted without the required 30-day written notice (one resulting in a $1,000 civil penalty for a repeat violation), a failure to provide requested medical records to a resident's family within the required timeframe, a medication administration gap where a resident did not receive a prescribed medication on a documented date, and a violation of admission agreement disclosure requirements related to preadmission fee refunds. Multiple other complaints investigated during this period were found unsubstantiated, including allegations of untrained staff, failure to meet resident needs, and improper isolation procedures.
