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 July 16, 2024, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a mix of results, including seven deficiencies in April 2024 related to resident services, food service, environmental standards, and consumer protections, as well as isolated issues with medication assistance recording and operating certificates in late 2023. Complaint investigations during this period were unsubstantiated and did not result in citations. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The inspection history suggests some challenges in compliance earlier in 2024, but the facility appears to have addressed these issues by the most recent review.
