5 state citations (2 serious, 3 minor) and 3 verified complaints since 2021 across 11 inspections. The most significant finding came from a March 2024 investigation in which staff confirmed that the facility failed to report 9 missed resident medications to the state for 13 days in December 2023, a lapse attributed to concurrent management and staffing transitions; citations were issued. A February 2023 complaint was substantiated after a night-shift caregiver improperly repositioned a resident during a diaper change and failed to report the potential injury to a supervisor, also resulting in deficiencies. A case management visit in April 2024 related to a medication error also resulted in citations, though the resident was promptly assessed by a physician and placed under observation. Required inspections in August 2024 and September 2025 did not result in citations.
