2 minor state citations and 0 verified complaints since 2021 across 9 inspections. The citations stem from a 2022 case management visit tied to a 2019-2020 fall incident involving a resident classified as a high fall risk: inspectors found that staff left the resident unattended on the floor after a fall and did not seek medical attention or notify the responsible party in a timely manner. State investigators also reviewed complaint allegations that staff locked a resident in a bedroom and that a resident's grooming needs were unmet; investigators found insufficient evidence to corroborate either allegation after interviewing residents, staff, and families. Annual physical plant inspections from 2021 through 2025 have been clean, with secured medications and sharp objects, operational safety equipment, and well-maintained common areas. As of August 2024, the facility transferred its remaining residents to a sister location and has been operating with 0 residents while the administrator awaits placements through a referral agency and Assisted Living Waiver program approval.
