FYI Safety Score

7.4 Fair

Mesa Care has recorded 7 state citations (6 serious, 1 minor) and 1 verified complaint across 8 inspections since 2022. The 1 verified complaint, from 2022, found that the facility had allowed a prospective resident to stay for multiple days without their legal representative present and had not maintained the required visitor log under COVID-era mitigation regulations. A 2024 complaint alleged medication was not given as prescribed, involving a physician-approved wine regimen that continued alongside a new Valium prescription; state investigators found insufficient evidence to substantiate that allegation. The most recent annual inspection in September 2025 noted medications locked and stored appropriately, adequate food supplies, compliant resident bedrooms, water temperatures within regulated ranges, and properly equipped bathrooms throughout the facility.
