Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on November 20, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed mixed results, including a complaint investigation on May 6, 2024, where inspectors cited several deficiencies related to documentation, resident rights posting, abuse prevention, notification procedures, and care plan updates following an alleged abuse incident. The complaint investigation found the abuse allegation unsubstantiated due to insufficient evidence, and the facility implemented corrective actions confirmed by a revisit survey. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The inspection history suggests improvement, with the latest report showing no deficiencies after prior issues were addressed.
