Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent report on October 23, 2025, which was perfect and found the complaint about staffing unsubstantiated. Earlier reports were also mostly clean, with no issues cited during annual inspections in 2024 and 2025, as well as follow-up visits. One complaint investigation in February 2023 found a substantiated deficiency for a delay of over three hours in seeking medical attention after a resident fall, resulting in a $500 civil penalty. Other complaint investigations, including allegations of illegal eviction and resident injury, were unsubstantiated. The facility appears to have improved since the 2023 penalty, with no deficiencies noted in subsequent inspections.
