FYI Safety Score

5.7 Below Average

12 state citations (4 serious, 8 minor) and 5 verified complaints since 2021 across 24 inspections. Substantiated findings include 2 complaints from October 2024: the facility elevator was not maintained in good repair, and the security gate in the memory care unit was being held closed with a makeshift band and clamp while the facility delayed seeking repair quotes, with the state following up multiple times before the repair was completed. A bed bug infestation identified in September 2024 required temporarily relocating affected residents, heat-treating their clothing and linens, and fumigating and airing out rooms before residents were allowed to return. A 2021 verified complaint found the facility failed to refund a departing resident's community fee within the contractually required 30-day window. The most recent inspection on record was January 9, 2026.
