The most recent inspection on January 24, 2024, found no deficiencies during the recertification visit or complaint investigations. Earlier inspections also generally found no regulatory insufficiencies, with complaint investigations in 2020 and 2022 resulting in no cited deficiencies, though some concerns about PPE use and social distancing were noted in 2020 without regulatory action. The only deficiencies appeared in the original licensing inspection in 2019, related to incomplete background checks for one staff member and delayed tenant evaluations. No fines, enforcement actions, or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The inspection history shows consistent compliance with certification requirements and no recent issues, indicating improvement since the initial licensing deficiencies.
