19 state citations (13 serious, 6 minor) and 1 verified complaint since 2021 across 15 inspections. In May 2024, inspectors found 2 staff members working without required criminal background clearance, including 1 who had been employed at the facility for 9 years; that same visit found a resident with dementia whose physician's report had not been updated since 2015. Inspections in 2024 and 2025 cited hot water temperatures reaching as high as 122.5°F in resident bathrooms, missing required medical assessments, and a failure to conduct emergency drills. A case management visit in October 2025 found the facility had not notified the state of a licensee's death that occurred in 2015 and had accumulated unpaid civil penalties.
