FYI Safety Score

5.6 Below Average

10 state citations (6 serious, 4 minor) and 7 verified complaints since 2021 across 27 inspections. The most serious documented incident occurred in May 2021 when 2 memory care residents eloped through the facility's secured perimeter; 1 resident was injured, transported to the emergency room, and died 16 days later, with the coroner identifying the injury as cause of death. Inspectors found that staff did not hear the delayed egress alarm during the incident. A 2024 complaint was substantiated for a personal rights violation related to staff conduct and resident dignity. A 2025 case management inspection cited the facility for a 12-day gap in a resident's prescribed medication, attributed to a prior authorization delay. A separate 2025 substantiated complaint found the facility failed to provide a resident's responsible party with a written copy of an incident report. In 2023, the facility self-reported a staff member for suspected medication theft; the employee was terminated and police were notified, with no citations issued. Annual inspections in 2022 through 2024 found the facility clean, organized, and in good repair.
