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

The most recent inspection on June 25, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies across food service, infection control, medication management, fire safety, and physical environment maintenance. Earlier inspections were not provided for comparison, so it is unclear if these issues represent a new or ongoing pattern. Inspectors cited problems with compliance to the Minnesota Food Code, incomplete employee records, missing required postings, and several fire code violations, along with medication administration and resident care documentation concerns. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports, and no complaint investigations were noted. Without prior inspection data, no clear trend of improvement or decline can be determined at this time.
