Inspectors cited problems with compliance to the Minnesota Food Code, incomplete employee records, missing required postings, and several fire code violations, along with medication administration and resident care documentation concerns. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports, and no complaint investigations were noted. Without prior inspection data, no clear trend of improvement or decline can be determined at this time.
