Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent report on February 20, 2025, which was clean with no citations issued. Earlier reports were also mostly free of issues, with complaint investigations in December 2023 finding no evidence to support allegations about staff records or housing. The only deficiencies appeared in February 2022, when inspectors noted that live-in staff were sleeping in the garage, which is not allowed, and that trash cans in residents’ rooms lacked tight-fitting lids. Since then, the facility corrected these issues and has maintained compliance with licensing requirements. This shows improvement and a consistent record of meeting standards in recent years.

Inspection Report
Complaint Investigation
Census: 6
Capacity: 6
Deficiencies: 0
Dec 14, 2023
Visit Reason
An unannounced complaint investigation was conducted to investigate allegations that the facility did not maintain accurate staff records, did not have a qualified administrator, and housed staff in the facility garage.
Findings
After interviews, record reviews, and physical inspection, there was no sufficient evidence to support the allegations. The facility staff records were accurate, the administrator was qualified with a valid certificate, and the garage was used only for storage, not housing staff. Therefore, all three allegations were unsubstantiated.
Complaint Details
The complaint investigation was unsubstantiated. Allegations included inaccurate staff records, unqualified administrator, and staff housed in the garage. Interviews with staff and administrator, review of certificates and records, and physical inspection found no evidence to support these claims.
