8 state citations (5 serious, 3 minor) and 3 verified complaints since 2021 across 16 inspections. The most significant issue arose in late 2022 when the licensee split a resident bedroom into 2 private rooms without obtaining a required building permit or fire clearance. State inspectors found the physical plant did not match the approved floor plan, ventilation in the altered room was inadequate due to wall placement, and residents remained in the unpermitted space even after being directed to relocate, resulting in a civil penalty for non-compliance. By December 2022, the wall was removed, fire clearance was restored, and the affected residents were relocated. A 2023 complaint alleging a resident was forced to leave was found unfounded. A February 2026 complaint regarding room access and adequate resident space was also found unfounded after staff and resident interviews and facility observation found no corroborating evidence. Annual inspections in May 2024 and May 2025 found no deficiencies, and the 2026 inspection confirmed no outstanding concerns related to fire clearance, building permits, or physical plant conditions.
