Norris Senior Home has received 10 state citations (3 serious, 7 minor) and 0 verified complaints across 8 inspections since 2021. The most recent inspection in March 2026 found medications requiring refrigeration stored unsecured in the facility refrigerator, accessible to residents in care. A November 2025 inspection found that all 4 resident files reviewed were missing required reappraisals, and conflicting dosing instructions appeared across the medication order, administration record, and bottle label for at least 1 resident. A recurring issue spanning late 2024 through May 2025 involved staff living in an unpermitted backyard shed; follow-up inspections found that furniture remained in the shed after the facility was directed to remove it, and the issue was not fully resolved until a fire clearance was obtained in May 2025, at which point the facility reduced its licensed capacity from 6 to 5 residents. A 2024 inspection also noted an exposed cable cord near a bedroom door identified as a fall hazard, and a 2023 inspection found the administrator certificate had expired.
