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 11, 2025, found no deficiencies and confirmed that previously cited issues had been corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of physical plant and fire safety deficiencies, including malfunctioning fire alarm systems, emergency lighting problems, and inadequate bathroom privacy. Prior reports also noted issues with medication administration, staff training, resident supervision, and a substantiated abuse incident in March 2024 that resulted in staff termination and felony charges. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the abuse case, and enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The trend suggests improvement in correcting physical plant and safety deficiencies over time, culminating in a clean most recent inspection.
