Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on August 12, 2025, found no deficiencies during a complaint investigation of the assisted living program. Earlier inspections included a May 9, 2024, initial certification visit where inspectors cited deficiencies related to failure to administer prescribed treatments and medications for several tenants. No fines, enforcement actions, or license issues were listed in the available reports. The complaint investigation in 2025 was unsubstantiated, with no regulatory insufficiencies noted. This suggests improvement since the initial certification inspection.
