FYI Safety Score

6.7 Fair

Excelsior Healthcare Center has 11 state citations (6 serious, 5 minor) and 1 verified complaint since 2021 across 19 inspections. In July 2024, state regulators held a noncompliance conference with the administrator to address a pattern of serious violations related to resident mental health care, administrator qualifications, and facility maintenance; the facility was placed on a 2-year monitoring plan with regulators noting potential actions including administrator decertification, employee exclusion, or license revocation. A complaint investigation concluded in March 2025 found that a staff member had entered into a relationship with a resident, with the administrator acknowledging she had not been sufficiently diligent in monitoring staff. A November 2024 case management visit cited the facility after the administrator was unable to locate required resident records. Compliance visits conducted in August and October 2025 found the facility to be clean, organized, and sanitary, with door alarms confirmed operational.
