Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on November 19, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies and focused on informing individuals about privacy practices. Earlier inspections showed multiple deficiencies related to resident care plans, staffing shortages, medication management, infection control, food safety, and life safety code compliance. Complaint investigations substantiated issues with staffing ratios and documentation, and the facility experienced Immediate Jeopardy findings in 2024 and early 2025 that were later removed after corrective actions. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges primarily with staffing and care quality, but recent efforts appear to have addressed many prior deficiencies.
