FYI Safety Score

6.5 Fair

11 state citations (4 serious, 7 minor) and 0 verified complaints across 8 inspections since 2021. The facility's most persistent issues have been infection control compliance: in 2022, inspectors found the licensee was not following key aspects of the Covid-19 Mitigation Plan, including missing indoor signage, and a follow-up inspection confirmed the required corrective training had not been completed, resulting in a civil penalty. A 2023 inspection again cited infection control deficiencies along with an additional civil penalty. Unrelated to infection control, a 2025 inspection found toxic cleaners and paint supplies stored in an unlocked cabinet, and both the 2025 and most recent January 2026 inspections recorded hot water temperatures above the safe range (122.3°F and 137.3°F respectively). The 2026 inspection also confirmed medications, sharps, and toxic cleaners are now inaccessible to residents. A 2021 complaint investigation found no evidence of neglect; witnesses described attentive care, a clean environment, and a resident who appeared happy and well-groomed.
