Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on June 25, 2025, found no deficiencies related to the complaint investigation.

Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one substantiated complaint resulting in deficiencies related to resident assessments and physician order documentation. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows some recurring Life Safety Code and documentation issues, but recent inspections indicate efforts toward maintaining compliance.
