The most recent inspection on April 23, 2025, found no violations during a complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed mostly no deficiencies, but a substantiated complaint in December 2024 cited the facility for failing to ensure one staff member had current CPR and emergency first aid certification. Prior to that, a November 2023 investigation identified deficiencies related to inadequate safety measures and monitoring after a memory-impaired resident eloped and was found with minor injuries. Complaint investigations were otherwise unsubstantiated, and there were no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows some isolated issues but no clear pattern of worsening or widespread deficiencies over time.
