The most recent inspection on November 20, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed some issues, including infection control problems, staffing shortages, incomplete care plans, medication errors, and failure to conduct required evacuation drills with proper notification. Inspectors cited infection control practices and emergency preparedness as recurring themes, with deficiencies related to gown use, hand hygiene, PPE use, and evacuation drills. A complaint investigation in February 2025 substantiated infection control and emergency preparedness deficiencies, while other complaints were not noted.
