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 3, 2024, was a complaint investigation that resulted in no deficiencies. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident assessments, negotiated service agreements, medication storage and labeling, food safety, and chemical storage, with some issues involving staffing and resident safety in the memory care unit. Earlier complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated, and enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility corrected all previously cited deficiencies by the time of the latest revisit, indicating improvement in compliance. Recent inspections suggest the facility has addressed prior concerns, showing a positive trend toward meeting regulatory requirements.
