FYI Safety Score™

4.1 Poor

5 state citations (4 serious, 1 minor) and 2 verified complaints since 2021 across 11 inspections. The most recent activity, in March 2026, included a serious citation for failing to report a resident elopement: a resident with aphasia who cannot leave unassisted walked approximately 1.6 miles to a family residence alone, and staff could not determine how the elopement occurred. A March 2026 verified complaint also found that staff restricted telephone and in-person contact between a resident and certain family members, continuing after the Long Term Care Ombudsman notified the administrator of residents' rights. An earlier verified complaint documented call button response delays for 1 resident over a 2-week period in 2021, with 37 calls unanswered for more than 20 minutes, including 2 exceeding 60 minutes. Citations from 2021 also covered the removal of a required visitation notice from the facility entrance and failure to report resident falls to state regulators. Annual inspections in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 found no deficiencies.
