A January 25, 2017, construction survey cited thirteen deficiencies in medication sink fixtures, wall cleanliness, odors, plumbing, oxygen storage, fire sprinkler protection, exit signs, fire-resistance assemblies, electrical systems, and fire containment doors.
A March 15, 2018, annual survey cited one deficiency in therapeutic diet service. A November 8, 2018, construction survey cited six deficiencies: wall repair, backward door hardware creating entrapment hazard, sprinkler system leaks, fire-resistant ceiling gaps, obstructed fire safety storage, and non-functional exhaust ventilation. A January 30, 2019, follow-up construction survey cited three deficiencies in windowsill hazard, sprinkler leaks, and ceiling penetrations.

An April 9, 2025, complaint investigation substantiated serious neglect: failure to provide written discharge notice and appeal rights to resident discharged to hospital, resulting in 40-day unnecessary hospital stay, designated as Type A1 violation. An April 9, 2025, complaint investigation substantiated failure to refund discharged resident within 14 days, with refund paid 30 days late. An October 29, 2025, annual survey cited one deficiency in loose shower grab bar hazard. No fines or license suspensions are records.
The facility’s deficiency rate near state average contrasts sharply with the April 2025 substantiated Type A1 serious neglect violation involving discharge procedures.

Before placement, families must ask directly about the April 2025 serious neglect incident and medication administration safeguards.
