6 state citations (4 serious, 2 minor) and 2 verified complaints across 8 inspections since 2021. The most significant findings center on a 2025 complaint investigation that uncovered multiple serious issues: a resident with Type 2 Diabetes requiring insulin assistance was admitted without a completed Preplacement Appraisal, and the management company Bright Senior Management (BSM), LLC had 2 employees working without required criminal record clearances. That same investigation found the licensee had approved incident and death reports containing inaccurate information. A separate August 2025 case management visit cited a minor violation for medications stored at the facility but not logged in the centrally stored medication log. Annual inspections in September 2024 and September 2025 found the facility clean, sanitary, and fully compliant with no deficiencies. Earlier inspections in 2021 and 2022 were also deficiency-free.
