The most recent inspection on May 1, 2025, was a complaint investigation that found no deficiencies related to the allegations. Earlier inspections were generally in compliance, with only one substantiated deficiency in February 2025 involving verbal abuse by a Qualified Medication Assistant toward a resident, which resulted in a final written warning and re-education measures. Other complaints investigated during this period were unsubstantiated, and no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The main issue identified was related to staff conduct and resident safety, while other inspections showed compliance with state residential licensure requirements. The overall pattern suggests mostly consistent compliance with occasional isolated issues that the facility addressed through corrective actions.
