  • The most recent inspection on May 22, 2025, found no deficiencies related to the complaints investigated. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving medication management, resident care notifications, and staff training, including issues with timely medication authorization, weight monitoring, and assistance with daily living activities. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, though one substantiated complaint in August 2022 involved neglect related to a resident with dementia eloping from the facility. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed many prior issues, as more recent inspections show fewer deficiencies and corrected complaints.
