The most recent inspection on September 18, 2024, found no deficiencies and confirmed that all previous issues were corrected.

Complaint investigations were attached to some inspections, with deficiencies substantiated in areas such as medication management and service agreement compliance; most complaints were addressed through corrective actions. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports.
