FYI Safety Score™

7.7 Fair

Hightower Residential Care recorded 3 state citations and 1 verified complaint since 2023 across 10 inspections. The facility opened under a change of ownership in late 2023. The 1 serious citation, issued in April 2025, stemmed from a complaint investigation during which a state inspector found 1 staff member working without the required fingerprint background clearance; that individual was removed from the facility during the visit. The 2 minor citations, both from August 2024, involved administrative failures: the licensee did not refund $9,330 owed to a resident's responsible party within the required 15 days after the resident's departure, and failed to provide a copy of the signed admission agreement when requested. The verified complaint, filed August 2024, was substantiated for the same refund failure. The most recent annual inspection in September 2025 did not result in new citations.
