Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating generally good compliance. The most recent report from September 5, 2025, was an annual inspection with no deficiencies cited. Some earlier investigations identified isolated issues, including a substantiated medication storage error in May 2025 and a missing safeguard form for a resident’s personal property. There were also a few substantiated complaints related to resident hygiene, communication, and staff behavior, but no fines, license suspensions, or immediate jeopardy findings were reported. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with the latest annual inspection showing full compliance after earlier isolated deficiencies.
The inspection was an unannounced required 1-year annual inspection conducted by the Licensing Program Analyst to evaluate compliance with licensing requirements.
Findings
The facility was found to be in compliance with no deficiencies cited during the annual inspection. The facility was observed to be sanitary, organized, and equipped with necessary safety features. Resident and staff records were complete and up to date.
