12 state citations (2 serious, 10 minor) and 0 verified complaints since 2021 across 6 inspections. The October 2023 annual inspection cited 2 minor violations, including an incomplete first aid kit. The most recent annual inspection on September 15, 2025, reviewed the full facility including the kitchen, resident rooms, bathrooms, and grounds; inspectors recorded hot water in a resident bathroom at 135.3 degrees Fahrenheit and noted the fire extinguisher had been serviced in October 2024. The September 2024 inspection covered the same areas and did not note temperature concerns, with hot water not recorded in that visit's excerpt. Earlier inspections in 2021 and 2022 focused on COVID-19 infection control and found all required protocols in place, with staff and residents vaccinated and proper entry screening in operation. 1 complaint was filed in July 2023 alleging the air conditioner was in disrepair; the allegation was investigated and found unsubstantiated, as staff had already scheduled a repair appointment and deployed 2 portable air conditioners to maintain resident comfort in the interim.
