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 July 22, 2025, identified deficiencies related to kitchen sanitation and administrative compliance, with some issues remaining uncorrected as of the last revisit. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies across resident rights, infection control, medication administration, fire and life safety, and administrative oversight, with repeated citations in kitchen sanitation and compliance areas. A complaint investigation in June 2024 substantiated failures in policy implementation, resident monitoring, and administrative oversight, leading to a condition placed on the facility. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with sanitation and administration, with some improvements noted after re-licensure surveys but recent findings indicate that certain issues persist.
