The rules that apply to this facility.
State requirements with the exact regulation citation, plain-language explanation, and a question to ask on tour. Rules this facility has been cited for appear first.
Plain language
Because a facility markets dementia or Alzheimer's care, state law mandates higher training standards: 12 hours of initial dementia training (6 hours before a staff member works independently with residents, 6 more within the first 4 weeks), 8 hours of annual dementia in-service every year thereafter, and an administrator must include 8 hours of dementia-specific continuing education in every 2-year recertification cycle. Training must cover individualized care plans, behavioral expressions, appropriate supervision, and the facility's dementia care philosophy.
Ask on tour
“Can you show me each direct-care staffer's most recent dementia training certificate, and tell me when their next refresher is due?”

Plain-language summary
On March 4, 2026, an unannounced inspection was conducted following a self-reported incident in which a memory care resident left the facility on February 24, 2026. The facility's alarm sounded around 10:45 p.m., but staff did not follow proper procedure—they reset the alarm without doing a head count or checking rooms to confirm all residents were present, assuming another resident had triggered it. Police located the resident about 35 minutes later and notified the facility; the executive director stated that additional staff training and disciplinary action were implemented in response.
“Based on interview the facility did not meet this requirement by S1 not providing the service neccesary to insure R1's safety because they did not follow procedure when the memory care egress door alarmed which posed an immediate safety risk to residents in care.”

On 03/4/2026 at 9:00AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) A Gomez conducted an unannounced Case Management visit regarding a self-reported incident. LPA met with Executive Director (ED), Kiel Stromgren, and explained the purpose of the visit. A self-reported incident report was received on 2/26/2026 from facility that indicated Resident 1 (R1) eloped from the facility on 2/24/2026. R1 is a memory care resident. During the visit, LPA interviewed ED. ED states that on the day R1 eloped from the facility the alarm went off in memory care that the door had been activated. Staff assumed that a resident (R2) with a history of triggering the door had activated the alarm and when they checked and saw R2 was present they reset the alarm and did not follow proper procedure. ED states that staff should have done a head count and room inspection to ensure all residents were accounted for. Because this did not happen staff did not realize that R1 had eloped until police notified the facility that they had found one of their residents. According to incident report the alarm went off at at approximately 10:45pm and police notified the facility of finding a resident at approximately 11:20pm . ED states that they provided additional training to staff and a disciplinary action to S1.
