FYI Safety Score

4.1 Poor

4 state citations (2 serious, 2 minor) and 2 verified complaints since 2022 across 7 inspections. The most recent and most serious finding came from a February 2026 complaint: the administrator failed to seek medical care after a resident had a clogged catheter with no urine output for 24 hours, resulting in a urinary tract infection; an immediate $500 civil penalty was issued. A March 2026 annual inspection found medications stored unsecured and accessible throughout the facility, including open pill boxes and bubble packs left on the kitchen table, chairs, and side tables. A March 2025 annual inspection cited dangerously high hot water temperatures reaching 143.8°F and reversed door locks that required a key to exit. A 2022 complaint inspection documented missing medication administration records and a resident discharge following hospitalization with no eviction notice on file. Annual inspections in February 2024 and May 2025 found the facility clean and in good repair with no deficiencies cited.
