Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations of financial abuse, improper eviction, and staff misconduct.

The most recent report from September 9, 2025, was clean with no deficiencies noted. Overall, the facility shows some improvement in addressing prior issues, though isolated care and rights-related deficiencies have occurred intermittently.
