FYI Safety Score

7.6 Fair

5 state citations and 4 verified complaints since 2021 across 9 inspections. The most serious finding was a 2022 serious citation for staff not wearing face coverings inside the facility, posing an immediate health risk to residents. Food safety has been a recurring issue: a 2024 complaint substantiated that expired and rotting food was stored in the kitchen, and the January 2026 annual inspection found expired freezer food and a rotting smell in the dining room, resulting in a repeat-violation citation and civil penalty. A 2024 complaint confirmed the administrator failed to issue a legally required refund to a resident's responsible party within the required timeframe. A 2022 complaint was substantiated for a staff member not following mask protocols. The 2025 inspection following the food complaint also cited expired and spoiled food in the kitchen, resulting in a minor citation.
