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 October 27, 2025, found no deficiencies during a complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with some citations related to tenant evaluations, service plans, and staff training in dementia care, as well as issues with admission criteria and medication administration in prior years. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for a few substantiated cases involving medication errors, incident reporting, and tenant behavior management, including a civil penalty issued in 2012 for retaining tenants with behaviors that posed risks. Enforcement actions included a $1,000 fine in 2012, but no fines or license actions were listed in the more recent reports. The overall trend suggests improvement, with the most recent inspections free of deficiencies after earlier challenges.
