Primrose has 3 state citations (2 serious, 1 minor) and 3 verified complaints since 2022 across 9 inspections. The most recent verified complaint, filed in October 2025, arose after a resident was hospitalized following a fall; state investigators reviewed medical records documenting bruising in the genital area, with conflicting notations across multiple nursing and physician entries. In 2024, a verified complaint involved a medication dispensing mix-up in which a resident's morning and noon medications were placed in the wrong dispensing cups by the administrator, with staff catching the error before administration; a second 2024 complaint involved a resident's weekly weight record missing the final week of care. From the 2022 annual inspection, a state inspector cited the facility after finding an unlocked cabinet containing aerosol cans and cleaning products accessible to dementia residents in an adjacent room. Both the 2024 and 2025 annual inspections closed without new citations.
