Earlier inspections showed mostly compliance, with a prior renewal inspection in July 2024 confirming substantial compliance and license renewal, and a July 2023 inspection citing deficiencies involving medication refrigerator storage and temperature monitoring. The main issues across reports involved medication management and storage practices. There were no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions listed in the available reports. The inspection history suggests some ongoing attention needed for medication procedures, but recent findings do not indicate worsening conditions.
