FYI Safety Score

5.7 Poor

24 state citations (1 serious, 23 minor) and 6 verified complaints since 2021 across 24 inspections. The verified complaints document repeated staffing and care failures across multiple years. A substantiated October 2024 complaint found no staff on duty from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM; all 5 residents confirmed they received no check-ins or incontinence assistance during those hours. A verified July 2024 complaint confirmed that only 1 caregiver was available to care for 5 incontinent, non-ambulatory residents, and that residents were left in soiled diapers as a result of the shortfall. 2 additional verified complaints involve pressure injuries: a January 2025 investigation found staff did not reposition a resident every 2 hours as medically directed, and a May 2025 complaint was substantiated after staff confirmed that a resident arrived at an emergency room with stage 3, stage 4, and unstageable pressure ulcers. The facility's most recent recorded inspection was January 8, 2026.
