Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on March 21, 2025, found no deficiencies related to the complaints investigated. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving life safety code violations such as fire safety system maintenance, corridor door issues, and electrical safety concerns, as well as resident care issues including privacy, ongoing assessments, catheter care, and food sanitation. One substantiated complaint in August 2022 involved abuse by a staff member, resulting in termination and corrective actions, but no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and the facility demonstrated compliance in several follow-up surveys. The inspection history shows some improvement in recent months, particularly with life safety and complaint-related issues being resolved.
