FYI Safety Score

5.1 Poor

Sungarden Terrace has 11 state citations (3 serious, 8 minor) and 2 verified complaints since 2021 across 18 inspections. The most serious cited incident, from August 2025, involved a staff member in a physical altercation with a memory care resident: surveillance footage showed the resident being hit, pushed to the floor, and left to crawl while bleeding, leading to an ER visit and 4 stitches; the facility also failed to notify the resident's responsible party. In April 2026, inspectors cited medication documentation errors involving a hospice resident's end-of-life pain medication, with records showing 26 missed routine doses over 11 days. A March 2026 inspection documented a staff member moving, showering, and dressing a resident who had fallen and was expressing pain from a dislocated shoulder, contrary to facility policy and a colleague's direct instruction not to move the resident. Of the 17 total complaints filed since 2021, 15 were investigated and found unsubstantiated, covering allegations related to temperature control, activities, infection management, staffing levels, and medication administration.
