Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on January 9, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a generally clean record with isolated issues, including medication management deficiencies identified in April 2023 related to incomplete medication records and improper disposal of unused medications. A prior investigation in April 2018 cited training gaps for personal services staff, missing resident documentation, and a substantiated case of resident financial exploitation by a staff member, which resulted in criminal charges but no listed enforcement actions or fines. Complaint investigations since then have been unsubstantiated. The facility’s inspection history suggests improvement over time, with recent inspections showing no cited deficiencies.
