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 December 17, 2025, found that all previously cited deficiencies had been corrected and no new noncompliance was identified. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to negotiated service agreements, medication labeling and storage, incident documentation, and chemical storage safety. Complaint investigations included some substantiated issues with medication management, service agreements, food safety, and employee health screenings, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Earlier inspections frequently cited these types of issues, but the facility took corrective actions as verified in subsequent revisits. The trend indicates improvement, with the most recent surveys showing full compliance after addressing prior deficiencies.
