Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

This facility’s inspection record is mixed, with mostly clean annual inspections but a substantiated medication error in April 2025 that posed an immediate health risk and led to two deficiencies. The October 20, 2025 annual inspection found no deficiencies, confirming compliance with sanitation, safety, and documentation standards. Complaint investigations in June and December 2024 found no evidence to support allegations of medication mismanagement or other care issues, showing some improvement after the April incident.
