FYI Safety Score

8.8 Good

1 serious state citation and 1 verified complaint since 2021 across 14 inspections. The citation, issued in May 2023, was for failing to report a COVID-19 outbreak to state licensing within the required 24-hour window; 5 staff and 1 resident had confirmed cases. The 1 verified complaint, investigated in January 2025, involved allegations of unmet dietary restrictions and incontinence care; the state found sufficient food variety and no evidence of residents being left soiled, and the complaint was unsubstantiated. 7 additional complaints were investigated and determined unfounded or unsubstantiated, covering topics including room temperatures during warm weather, a resident fall, dietary concerns, and personal care. Annual inspections in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 found the facility clean, at comfortable temperatures, with medications properly stored, food supplies adequate, and no deficiencies cited. The facility underwent a change in administrator in late 2025.
