The most recent inspection on September 17, 2025, identified a deficiency related to updating a resident’s Individual Service Plan to reflect changes in toileting needs. Earlier inspections showed a mix of deficiencies including issues with employee communicable disease screening, staff training, emergency evacuation drills, and fire safety measures, as well as missing signage on delayed egress doors. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, though one substantiated complaint led to the September 2025 deficiency. Enforcement actions included a $1,400 forfeiture imposed in March 2025 and a $200 revisit fee in July 2025; other enforcement actions were not listed in the available reports. The facility demonstrated some improvement with no deficiencies found during the July 2025 reinspection, but recent findings indicate ongoing challenges with documentation and procedural compliance.
