Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on August 6, 2025, found deficiencies related to kitchen cleanliness, food sanitation, and infection control that were not corrected on revisits. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of multiple deficiencies involving food sanitation, administrative oversight, resident care, medication management, staffing, training, and building maintenance, with some issues corrected over time. Complaint investigations identified problems with medication and treatment order compliance and staffing tools, which were not resolved at revisit. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports, and most complaints were unsubstantiated. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with food sanitation and care systems, with some improvement noted after the 2024 re-licensure survey but recurring issues in recent kitchen inspections.
