Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on January 4, 2022, found no deficiencies during the revisit survey that verified correction of earlier issues. Prior inspections in late 2021 had cited deficiencies related to food safety, specifically improper labeling and dating of frozen food items and cleanliness concerns with the main ice machine in the kitchen. Complaint investigations conducted over the years were consistently unsubstantiated, with no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports. Earlier surveys showed compliance with emergency preparedness and life safety standards. The facility appears to have addressed previous deficiencies, showing improvement by the time of the most recent inspection.
