Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on September 18, 2025, identified deficiencies related to individualized service plans not including all assessed needs and inadequate supervision of resident schedules, care, and activities. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving resident care, medication management, individualized service plans, staffing and supervision, and fall risk assessments. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, often citing failures in medication administration, timely updating of service plans, staff certifications, and prompt response to resident needs; fines or enforcement actions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaints were substantiated in part, with issues frequently related to resident care and staffing. While deficiencies have persisted over time, the facility’s record shows ongoing challenges rather than clear improvement or worsening trends.
