Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on October 31, 2025, did not document any deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues primarily related to the care and supervision of a resident with elopement risks, including failure to provide adequate protective oversight and to update care plans appropriately. Substantiated complaints involved lapses in supervision, serving over licensed capacity, and not promptly addressing safety needs for the resident in memory care. Other complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports.
