FYI Safety Score

3.8 Severe

9 state citations (3 serious, 6 minor) and 9 verified complaints since 2021 across 21 inspections. The most recent substantiated finding, from March 2026, involved a resident privacy violation after inspectors confirmed that a camera with audio recording capability was permitted in a resident's room, which is prohibited by regulation. A serious citation issued in April 2025 found the facility failed to administer a prescribed water pill according to physician orders, which regulators determined posed an immediate risk to resident health and safety. In December 2025, inspectors observed a cockroach in a memory care resident's bedroom and documented a persistent urine odor throughout the memory care unit, with staff unable to provide a regular carpet cleaning schedule. A November 2024 complaint was substantiated for insufficient staffing, with both residents and staff confirming that additional personnel were needed, particularly on weekends; the facility noted new staff were in training at the time.
