Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on March 5, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with some deficiencies related mainly to resident care, including issues with supervision and wound management. One complaint investigation in August 2019 cited a failure to provide adequate care when a resident left unsupervised and was injured, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Other complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and a follow-up inspection in late 2019 found no violations. The facility’s inspection history suggests some past challenges with resident care, but recent reports indicate improvement and compliance.
