The only deficiency found was a substantiated staffing shortage in April 2022, which led to unsupervised residents and delayed call light responses in the memory care unit. Recent complaint investigations in May 2025 and September 2023 found no violations or injuries, and technical violations in 2024 involved only minor posting and emergency plan details.
