9 state citations and 1 verified complaint since 2024 across 15 inspections. A case management visit in April 2026 found a resident tied to a wheelchair using a sweater as a restraint, resulting in an immediate $500 civil penalty. The same visit recorded hot water at 140.7 degrees Fahrenheit, well above the 105-to-120-degree required range, and state investigators assessed an additional $250 penalty for a repeat violation. A case management visit the prior month had found hot water at 92.7 to 93.2 degrees, below the required minimum, a serious citation. The facility's exterior was also cited for overgrown vegetation in March 2026, with a plan of correction still pending as of April 2026. In May 2025, state managers met with the licensee to discuss financial distress, a suspected dissolution of partnership, and a recordkeeping violation. The 2025 annual inspection found no deficiencies. 2 of the 3 complaints filed were investigated and found unsubstantiated, including allegations about untimely toileting assistance and a missed specialist appointment.
