FYI Safety Score

7.8 Fair

6 state citations (1 serious, 5 minor) and 4 verified complaints since 2021 across 15 inspections. The facility expanded capacity in 2021 from 4 ambulatory to 6 non-ambulatory residents. The most notable substantiated finding involved a staff member serving a resident with Alzheimer's dementia food outside their physician-ordered mechanical soft diet; the resident began choking on the meal, and management responded by providing additional food service training and reinforcing adherence to prescribed menus. A 2022 complaint was substantiated when the facility failed to provide a required refund to a resident's family following their death, and a related citation was issued that year for an admissions agreement missing required refund information. During the November 2025 annual inspection, a caregiver was found working without being formally associated with the facility prior to their first day; a follow-up visit addressed the background check requirement. Complaints alleging inadequate supervision following a fall and inadequate incontinence care were each investigated and determined unsubstantiated. Annual inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 otherwise found the facility clean, well-maintained, and free of hazards.
