Across 27 state inspections going back to at least 2020, inspectors cited Westwind Memory Care twice for serious issues and confirmed 2 complaints. One finding involved medication documentation: charting notes show staff gave morphine to a hospice resident with no record that hospice was notified first, and other entries from that period were also missing documentation around morphine and anti-anxiety drug doses. Another finding, from late 2025, was that the home admitted a resident who didn't have dementia, even though the home is intended exclusively for residents with dementia. State investigators also looked into many other concerns over the years, including how staff communicate with families, staffing levels, training, activities, and COVID practices, and couldn't confirm most of those claims.
