3 state citations (2 serious, 1 minor) and 1 verified complaint across 9 inspections since 2021. The most significant finding came from a February 2026 complaint investigation that substantiated a staff member refusing to assist a resident with incontinence care overnight, leaving the resident in soiled diapers for extended periods despite repeated use of a call button. The 2025 annual inspection resulted in a minor recordkeeping citation. A 2021 complaint about Covid-19 public health order compliance was investigated and found unsubstantiated. The facility also navigated a significant 2023 water damage incident that required temporary resident relocation, which regulators monitored through follow-up visits in 2023 and 2024 confirming repairs were completed and residents returned.
