Since 2021, state inspectors have visited Drake House 13 times, cited the home twice (1 serious, 1 minor), and recorded 0 verified complaints. The serious citation came in November 2022, when the home self-reported a medication error: after a resident's dosage was increased and new medication arrived, staff didn't discontinue the old prescription, so the resident temporarily received both doses. The resident's doctor was reached and said no additional treatment was needed. Eight days later, inspectors also cited the home for medication storage, finding that centrally stored medicines weren't being kept in a locked area accessible only to the staff responsible for them. Outside those two findings, routine annual inspections in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2025 found the home clean, well-maintained, and without deficiencies. Several complaints over the years, covering topics like sanitation, food preparation, staff conduct, and outdoor areas, were investigated and found to be either unfounded or not supported by the evidence.
