FYI Safety Score

7.4 Fair

6 state citations (2 serious, 4 minor) and 5 verified complaints across 28 inspections since 2021. The most serious finding involved a medication administration error in April 2022: staff continued giving a resident 2 discontinued medications for 4 days after a doctor ordered them stopped, and the resident was hospitalized and died later that month with bradycardia listed as the cause of death on the death certificate; staff admitted they had not seen the discontinuation order. A 2022 complaint was substantiated finding the facility improperly required a visitor to contact a resident's Power of Attorney before being allowed to visit, a violation of resident rights. A 2024 complaint found that staff allowed at least 1 visitor to enter without signing in as required. The most recent substantiated complaint (June 2025) found an eviction notice was missing legally required elements, including the effective date, specific facts, ombudsman contact information, and alternative housing resources. The October 2025 annual inspection found no health or safety concerns across the assisted living, memory care, and independent living units.
