Substantiated investigations (state reports)
- October 15, 2025 · report HL390343662M · MDH finding: Substantiated, individual responsibility
Details
Allegation, as written: “The alleged perpetrator (AP) abused the resident when the AP performed unwanted touch of the resident's breast.”
“The Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was substantiated.”
“The AP was responsible for the maltreatment.”
Summary: MDH looked into an allegation and found: abuse substantiated (individual responsibility).
MDH’s conclusion, as written: “The Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was substantiated. The AP was responsible for the maltreatment. The facility surveillance footage showed the AP approach the resident, who was sitting calmly near the nurse's station, and place her arm around the resident's shoulders, place her hand on the resident's breast, and move her hand around on the resident's breast in a groping motion. This action resulted in the resident becoming upset and physically grabbing the AP's hand and pushing it away from her. The AP continued to attempt to physically touch the resident's hands and/or arms, and the resident continued to push the AP away from her.”
Action taken by facility: “The facility investigated in the incident and the AP is no longer employed by the facility.”
Action taken by MDH: “The facility was issued a correction order regarding the vulnerable adult's right to be free from maltreatment.”

- July 2, 2025 · report HL390341743M · MDH finding: Substantiated, facility responsibility
Details
Allegation, as written: “The facility neglected the resident when staff did not administer her inhaler for three days. The resident was hospitalized with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation.”
“The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was substantiated.”
“The facility was responsible for the maltreatment.”
Summary: MDH looked into an allegation and found: neglect substantiated (facility responsibility).
MDH’s conclusion, as written: “The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was substantiated. The facility was responsible for the maltreatment. Through a series of systemic errors, staff did not administer the resident's Trelegy inhaler (a medication used for the maintenance treatment of asthma and COPD) for four days. There was no standard process in place to receive medications from the pharmacy, to log receipt of medications, or to ensure all medications that had been ordered were received in a timely manner. The facility also did not have a reliable way for staff to contact the after-hours triage nurse, resulting in further delay in locating and administering the resident's inhaler. After four days without using her Trelegy inhaler, the resident was hospitalized and intubated in the ICU with respiratory distress. The resident returned to the facility after a week in the hospital on hospice care.”
Action taken by facility: “The facility updated policies for ordering and receiving medication deliveries and provided staff with training regarding those policies.”
Action taken by MDH: “The responsible party will be notified of their right to appeal the maltreatment finding. The facility was found to be in noncompliance.”

Details
Allegation, as written: “Allegation #1: Alleged perpetrator (AP) #1 abused the resident when she yelled at him while providing cares. Allegation #2: AP #2 neglected the resident when she ignored his request for help and his complaints of pain following a fall. Later, the resident was transported to the hospital for evaluation, where he was diagnosed with a right hip fracture.”
“Allegation #1: The Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was inconclusive.”
“Allegation #2: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was inconclusive During cares, the resident complained of leg pain and requested help, and it appeared AP #2 did not address his concerns nor took steps to address his pain.”
Summary: MDH looked into 2 allegations and found: abuse inconclusive; neglect inconclusive.
MDH’s conclusion, as written: “Allegation #1: The Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was inconclusive. Although video footage captured AP #1 speaking loudly to the resident, telling him to stop picking at what appeared to be a small wound on his right elbow from a fall, he can be heard telling her not to do something; however, the audio ends mid-sentence and the remainder of the exchange occurred off camera. Allegation #2: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was inconclusive During cares, the resident complained of leg pain and requested help, and it appeared AP #2 did not address his concerns nor took steps to address his pain. However, AP #2 did approach AP #1 regarding the reports of pain and AP #1 did check back with the resident before the end of the shift.”
Action taken by facility: “The facility terminated the employment of AP #1 and AP #2. The facility reviewed its relevant policies and procedures.”
Action taken by MDH: “No further action at this time.”
Survey completed October 22, 2025: no correction orders issued.

Widespread scope: “when problems are pervasive or represent a systemic failure that has affected or has the potential to affect a large portion or all of the residents”

What these terms mean
MDH: “An evaluation is a process regulated by the division to ensure licensees comply with the laws, rules, and certifications for the type of care and services authorized under their license/certification.”
“An investigation may occur when the division is notified that care and services are not being provided by licensees as required by law. This may include allegations of abuse, neglect, or financial misuse.”
For maltreatment, Minnesota law defines substantiated as “a preponderance of the evidence shows that an act that meets the definition of maltreatment occurred” and inconclusive as “less than a preponderance of evidence to show that maltreatment did or did not occur” (Minn. Stat. 626.5572).
Correction orders, as MDH explains on each state form: “Tag numbers have been assigned to Minnesota State Statutes for Assisted Living Facilities.” “The letter in the left column is used for tracking purposes and reflects the scope and level issued pursuant to 144G.31 subd. 1, 2, and 3.” MDH adds that there is no requirement to submit a plan of correction for violations of Minnesota state statutes.
MDH keeps investigation results for seven years when allegations are substantiated, four years when inconclusive, and three years when unsubstantiated, so the counts cover different periods. This community is licensed for 41 residents; larger communities are evaluated and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.

How Lilisity works. The only scores or rankings Lilisity publishes are the Top Communities list and the Excellence Awards, both built from phone-verified resident and family interviews. Communities can pay Lilisity a flat monthly fee to manage their own listing: photos, prices, contact details, and receiving the inquiries families choose to send them. The fee is the same no matter how many families contact them or move in. Senior Living Alliance, which runs Lilisity, offers the same listing to its member communities as part of their membership; members pay SLA for its resident and family interview program. No community pays Lilisity per inquiry, per referral or per move-in. Payment never changes a testimonial, a rating, or the order of search results. The "Nearby Senior Living Alliance communities" box shows member communities only. How we verify testimonials · How we are paid
