3 state citations and 1 verified complaint since 2021 across 12 inspections. The most serious finding involved a 2025 investigation into a memory care resident who developed pressure wounds on the left hip and heels in December 2024; the resident received home health services for wound care but was hospitalized twice as the wounds failed to improve, and was ultimately discharged to a skilled nursing facility following the second hospitalization in February 2025. In 2022, investigators substantiated a complaint that facility staff delayed an Ombudsman's entry by requiring them to complete a sign-in process that does not apply to Ombudsman visits, resulting in a minor citation for violation of resident personal rights. Annual inspections in 2021 and 2022 found no deficiencies, and case management visits following resident incidents in 2022 and 2023 identified no health or safety concerns.
