  • The most recent inspection on September 23, 2025, found the facility in compliance with all regulations and no new deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed some deficiencies related mainly to functional capacity screenings, negotiated service agreements, and safe food storage, which were addressed promptly. Prior reports also noted issues with medication administration, documentation, and emergency preparedness, including one instance in 2023 where a medication error led to resident harm requiring hospitalization. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for a few substantiated cases involving resident care coordination and reporting failures. The facility appears to be improving over time, with recent follow-up inspections confirming correction of prior deficiencies.
