24 state citations (4 serious, 20 minor) and 5 verified complaints since 2021 across 14 inspections. The most serious finding involved the licensee's failure to report, within the required 24-hour window, multiple incidents in which a resident with dementia who was a registered sex offender sexually groped 2 other residents on separate occasions in 2021; state inspectors issued a serious citation for these failures during a 2025 case management visit. A 2025 complaint was substantiated when inspectors found that a hospice resident whose care plan required incontinence checks every 2 hours was being changed only 3 times daily. Inspectors also cited admissions documentation failures, including missing physician's reports, preplacement appraisals, and needs-and-services plans for multiple residents. Annual inspections in January 2025 and January 2026 found the facility clean, sanitary, and free of deficiencies, and a January 2026 follow-up visit confirmed the licensee had implemented corrections to the previously cited violations.
