Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, showing the facility generally maintained a clean and well-organized environment with proper safety systems and staff training. However, several complaint investigations were substantiated, including incidents where staff failed to prevent a resident from leaving the facility unsupervised, resulting in a $500 fine in January 2025, and where emergency personnel were delayed in receiving a resident’s advance directives in September 2025. Other issues involved staff training recordkeeping and a privacy violation related to an unauthorized video camera, but these were isolated and less severe. The most recent report from September 9, 2025, did cite deficiencies related to emergency response and resident dignity. While some concerns have arisen, recent annual inspections have been clean, indicating some improvement in overall compliance.
