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

  • The inspection record for the facility covers the period from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2025. During this time the operator received no citations from any inspection. Two complaint surveys were issued, both reporting zero violations. The first survey, “Report Issued: November 7, 2024,” lists “Violations: 0” and the status “Plan/Notice of Correction Not Required.” The second survey, “Report Issued: June 28, 2023,” also shows “Violations: 0” with the same status. Thus, the total number of inspections recorded is two, the total number of violations is zero, and both inspections had no violations. The largest survey by violations is the November 7, 2024 report, which also recorded zero violations. Because no violations were identified, there are no deficiency categories such as admissions, resident services, or food service to describe. The absence of violations indicates that the facility met all applicable standards during these inspections. Enforcement actions for the reporting period are nonexistent. The record states, “There have been no enforcement actions against the Operator of this facility during this reporting period.” No Stipulation & Order numbers or dates are listed, confirming that no enforcement measures were taken. The pattern of zero violations is consistent across the available data. The “Zero‑violation report dates detected” list includes the dates November 7, 2024 and June 28, 2023, matching the two complaint surveys. This repeated absence of violations suggests a stable compliance posture for the facility during the reporting period.
