Most inspections before 2025 found the facility generally compliant with safety and environment standards, including a clean prelicensing inspection on June 14, 2023. However, more recent reports show some serious issues. On July 18, 2024, inspectors cited the facility for privacy violations due to unauthorized audio video monitoring in residents’ rooms and for having an unauthorized staff member present, resulting in $500 in civil penalties. The most recent report from September 25, 2025, substantiated a neglect complaint involving a resident who developed an open wound with maggots and required hospitalization; this led to an immediate $500 civil penalty with additional fines pending. These findings indicate a worsening pattern of resident care and supervision concerns over time.
An unannounced complaint investigation visit was conducted due to an allegation of neglect/lack of care and supervision resulting in hospitalization of a resident.
Findings
The investigation substantiated the allegation that Resident #1 developed an open wound with maggots due to neglect by facility staff. The facility failed to develop a care plan or arrange timely medical attention for the resident, posing an immediate health and safety risk.
Complaint Details
The complaint was substantiated. It involved neglect/lack of care and supervision that resulted in hospitalization of Resident #1. Evidence included medical records, staff interviews, and hospital photographs. An immediate civil penalty of $500 was assessed, with additional penalties pending review.
