Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating the facility generally meets regulatory standards. The most recent report from July 16, 2025, had no deficiencies despite a noted strong urine odor in a resident’s room, and the resident was found clean and well cared for. The facility had two serious deficiencies in its June 25, 2025 annual inspection involving an unlocked medication cart and improper storage of germicidal wipes near food, both posing immediate health and safety risks, along with a documentation issue; these were addressed with plans of correction. Earlier complaint investigations, including those related to medication errors, staffing, and resident care, were all unsubstantiated. The facility’s record shows mostly compliance with isolated safety and medication management issues that were corrected, with no fines or enforcement actions listed in the available reports.
