The most recent inspection on November 22, 2024, found the facility to be in compliance with state residential licensure requirements and had no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed some deficiencies related mainly to staff certification, employee background checks, labeling and dating of food and beverages, and posting of required information. A substantiated complaint in September 2023 cited a staff member for taking resident medications, which led to suspension and termination of the employee, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or found corrected upon follow-up. The inspection history shows improvement over time, with the latest survey meeting all regulatory standards.
