Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found no deficiencies, showing the facility generally maintained a clean, safe, and well-managed environment. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating that many concerns raised were not confirmed. However, some deficiencies were noted over time, including improper resident placement in memory care despite updated diagnoses, delayed refund issuance to a resident, and a fire clearance violation related to non-ambulatory residents housed on an ambulatory-only floor. The most recent report from September 3, 2025, found a substantiated complaint where the facility did not accept a resident back from the hospital, posing potential health and personal rights risks. While issues have appeared intermittently, recent annual inspections have been free of deficiencies, suggesting some improvement in compliance.
