It has operated under Golden Years for the Elderly Corp for about 26 years.

Serious findings are present and weigh heavily, and the facility also has state enforcement actions on record that cap the score. Recurring problems have focused on medication handling, resident care, staffing standards, the physical plant, staff training and recordkeeping; although prior citations were corrected, the most recent inspection showed an uptick in deficiencies so the pattern appears to be worsening.
