Most inspections found no deficiencies, with several complaint investigations deemed unsubstantiated. The facility’s most recent report from August 20, 2025, identified minor issues with occasional undercooked food and some dining room wear, but no citations were issued. More serious findings occurred earlier, including substantiated physical abuse by staff in late 2024 and a $10,000 civil penalty issued in July 2025 for that abuse. Other notable issues involved staffing shortages in dining and housekeeping in 2022, uneven flooring posing safety risks, and delays in providing resident records, but these were addressed over time. Recent reports show improvement in compliance and safety, although isolated technical violations remain.
The inspection was an unannounced complaint investigation triggered by allegations received on 2025-07-23 regarding inadequate food service and cleanliness issues at the facility.
Findings
The investigation found that the food was occasionally undercooked and the dining room tables and chairs had some buildup and wear, but there was no direct impact or danger to residents. These issues were considered technical violations with no citations issued.
Complaint Details
The complaint alleged that on 2025-07-17, the dinner meal was not prepared properly with undercooked meat and potatoes, and concerns about cleanliness of dining room tables and chairs. The complaint was substantiated but determined to be a technical violation with no citations.
