“My only concern was security, while I was sleeping, another patient entered my room and that was nerve racking.”

Families filed complaints that triggered findings around resident protection and proper reporting of suspected abuse in 2023, though these issues were corrected. The facility has recurring building safety concerns including stairway exits and heating systems that have received waivers, plus ongoing fire safety issues with emergency drills and flammable decorations. Most deficiencies appear to be building-related rather than direct care problems.
