The most recent inspection on October 30, 2025, identified multiple fire safety deficiencies including issues with electrical hazards, fire door maintenance, sprinkler system testing, and documentation of fire drills and emergency lighting tests. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of fire safety violations as well as substantiated complaints related to failure to follow advance directives, delayed staff response to resident calls, and deficiencies in staff training and facility licensing.
