FYI Safety Score

7.6 Fair

9 state citations and 2 verified complaints since 2022 across 11 inspections. The most serious finding came from a substantiated complaint investigation in April 2025: staff did not consistently follow a resident's prescribed medical orders, with CPAP equipment for obstructive sleep apnea going unused for multiple months and several medications, including donepezil, a glaucoma treatment, and a medicated shampoo, not administered as prescribed. A second allegation from the same investigation, that staff had isolated a resident in care, was also substantiated. A December 2024 case management visit found that required annual medical assessments had not been completed, with appraisals on file dating back to 2019 and 2022. The April 2024 annual inspection noted that both administrator certificates had expired, though renewal was already in progress at the time. Earlier citations from 2022 and 2023 included missing visitor and temperature logs and records not being available to the licensing agency on demand. A follow-up visit in April 2025 found that only 4 of 7 staff had submitted required in-service training logs, and the facility was granted additional time to comply.
