0 serious or minor state citations and 0 verified complaints across 7 inspections since 2021. All 3 complaints filed were investigated and determined to be unsubstantiated or unfounded. Inspection records from 2021 through August 2025 consistently describe the facility as clean, sanitary, and in good repair, with pathways clear of hazards, rooms properly furnished, and adequate food supplies on hand. A 2023 complaint alleging visitor restriction was found unsubstantiated after investigators confirmed the facility had arranged off-site visits as an alternative to an on-site restriction made in response to documented disruptive behavior. A 2024 incident involving 2 cognitively impaired residents was reviewed and resolved with a 24-hour caregiver plan, with no health or safety deficiencies cited. The most recent annual inspection, conducted in August 2025 with 247 residents in care, found no deficiencies.
