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

This facility’s inspection record is mostly clean, with only minor personnel file deficiencies noted in the most recent August 19, 2025 inspection, where four staff lacked valid health screening and TB test results. Previous annual inspections cited one deficiency each for missing First aid/CPR certificates in five staff files (August 6, 2024) and plumbing issues including unsafe water temperatures posing health risks (February 13, 2023). Multiple complaint investigations since 2021 were unsubstantiated except one in August 2023 that substantiated improper glucose testing by unqualified staff.
