FYI Safety Score

7.0 Fair

2 state citations and 2 verified complaints since 2023 across 11 inspections. The 1 serious citation, issued in January 2026, found the facility failed to arrange podiatry care for a resident over the last year of their stay, with the resident's foot condition at move-out consistent with unmet podiatry needs. A minor citation stemmed from a 2023 incident in which a resident fell from a shower chair during bathing and required sutures. Of the 13 complaints filed, 11 were unsubstantiated, including allegations about call button response times, incontinence care, infection control procedures following a resident's MRSA diagnosis, compression sock use, and care plan adherence. Annual inspections in 2023 and 2024 found no deficiencies, and the January 2025 inspection described the facility as clean, sanitary, and in good repair with all safety systems operational.
