Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent follow-up on September 16, 2025, which had no deficiencies cited. Earlier complaint investigations were largely unsubstantiated, with no evidence found for allegations about facility disrepair, transportation issues, or resident mistreatment. Two substantiated deficiencies involved the memory care unit’s lack of a dedicated activity director and failure to maintain activity documentation, first cited in February 2022 and again in April 2024, after which the facility hired an Activity Program Coordinator. Another isolated deficiency was noted in February 2025 related to medication assistance and failure to develop a plan for incidental medical and dental care. The facility’s record shows improvement in recent inspections, with the latest reports free of deficiencies.
The inspection was a case management follow-up visit to review a resident incident and a suspected abuse report recently submitted by the facility.
