FYI Safety Score

7.7 Fair

3 state citations and 2 verified complaints since 2021 across 12 inspections. The most serious verified complaint, substantiated in May 2024, found extension cords splitting and fraying across resident pathways and stored taped-together cords in the garage after a power outlet failure. A second verified complaint, cited in October 2024, found that the facility failed to ensure residents could receive confidential phone calls. An October 2025 inspection documented multiple personal rights concerns raised by a family member, including staff restricting visiting hours during meals, directing residents and families where to sit in the dining room, discouraging visits, scolding residents, and requiring residents to limit personal photos in their rooms; no deficiencies were formally cited during that visit. An unrelated incident in late 2023 involved a medication error where a resident received the wrong dosage for 4 days; the facility responded by requiring 2-staff verification before medication order changes. 4 routine annual inspections from 2021 through 2025 found the facility clean, sanitary, and in good repair with no deficiencies cited.
