54 state citations (25 serious, 29 minor) and 1 verified complaint since 2021 across 18 inspections. The most significant early findings, in August 2021, included no staff present at the facility overnight, a licensee who provided inspectors with a false staff name and a different employee's records, a staff member working without fingerprint clearance, and a bedridden resident requiring 24-hour nursing care without appropriate services in place. The state held a formal conference with the licensee that same month and increased inspection frequency. Subsequent visits continued to find recurring issues: in October 2022, 5 of 6 residents had full bed rails in violation of state regulations, resulting in a $500 civil penalty, and a resident with a prohibited medical condition was being retained without required state approval. Medication cabinet security was cited again at the October 2024 inspection, when inspectors arrived to find medications unlocked and accessible to a resident on the kitchen counter with no staff present. The most recent annual inspection in October 2025 found an expired over-the-counter medication being administered without a physician's order, staff operating a hoyer lift without required training, and staff failing to document resident responses to as-needed medications.
