30 state citations (13 serious, 17 minor) and 25 verified complaints since 2021 across 45 inspections. Investigators found staffing levels insufficient in 2022, when records showed 26 out of 96 resident call button activations went unanswered, resulting in a serious citation. That same year, inspectors documented photographic evidence of multiple residents left in soiled clothing and wet sheets, with staff missing incontinence care confirmations for 7 residents across repeated shifts spanning 2 weeks. A 2021 substantiated complaint found a resident did not receive their scheduled insulin after returning to the facility due to a shift communication failure, which the facility addressed by creating a new MedTech handoff log. A separate 2022 investigation confirmed a resident was not showered per their care plan, and a second 2022 complaint found a resident's overnight toileting needs went unmet on multiple documented dates. Most recently, in August 2025, records document a resident sustaining 3 unwitnessed falls within a 24-hour period in their room.
