Most inspections found deficiencies related primarily to resident supervision, especially involving repeated incidents of a resident with dementia eloping from the facility, which led to civil penalties most recently on October 23, 2025, when a $1,000 fine was issued for inadequate supervision and personnel issues. Other notable issues included lapses in staff certifications, unlocked medications and cleaning supplies in memory care areas, and hot water temperatures exceeding regulatory limits, though some of these were addressed over time. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations of retaliation, discrimination, and unlawful eviction. The most recent report from October 23, 2025, did have deficiencies and enforcement, indicating ongoing challenges with supervision despite some improvements in other areas. Overall, the facility has faced repeated supervision and safety-related citations but has maintained compliance in many operational and environmental aspects.
The visit was conducted as a Case Management - Incident Visit to follow up on a self-reported incident involving a resident who eloped from the facility on 10/10/2025.
Findings
The facility failed to provide adequate supervision to a resident with dementia, resulting in elopement. A repeat deficiency was cited for failure to meet personnel requirements, and a civil penalty of $1,000 was issued.
Complaint Details
