Cottage Inn has recorded 11 state citations (3 serious, 8 minor) and 6 verified complaints since 2021 across 14 inspections. The most significant recent finding involves door safety alarms: during a March 2025 complaint investigation, inspectors found 3 auditory door alarms in the off position throughout the facility, and a resident had eloped from the grounds in December 2024 without any alarm activating. Staff were unable to explain why the alarms were disabled. Earlier, in April 2021, inspectors found rat bait pellets stored in a kitchen cabinet accessible to residents, along with unlocked cleaning chemicals and a resident's medication in an unlocked office. A May 2022 case management visit resulted in 2 citations for a missing pre-admission appraisal and outdated care plans for 3 residents. Annual inspections in 2023, 2024, 2025, and January 2026 noted the facility to be clean and in good repair, with fire safety systems, sharps storage, and food supplies within regulation.
