2 complaint-triggered findings

$66,700 in fines

Families filed complaints that triggered serious deficiencies in December 2023 involving resident protection from abuse and neglect, plus care planning failures. A separate March 2024 survey found food safety violations. The main concern areas were resident safety, care planning, and food handling. All deficiencies show correction dates from the facility, but the complaint-triggered safety issues warrant careful consideration during any visit.

Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement.
