Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on January 8, 2026, found the facility certified in compliance with health requirements and did not list any specific deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to medication administration errors, resident supervision, and failure to report or investigate abuse allegations properly. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues such as mistreatment during care, delayed nursing responses, and inadequate supervision leading to resident harm, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were noted in the available reports. Most complaints were substantiated when deficiencies were found, with some involving medication errors and resident safety incidents. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with medication management and resident care, though the most recent certification suggests corrective actions have been accepted and compliance achieved.
