Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on July 18, 2024, found no deficiencies following a complaint about a dryer fire that was contained without violations. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of some deficiencies related primarily to staff credentials, training, and tuberculosis screening, which were corrected by the June 3, 2024 follow-up inspection. Prior reports also cited multiple fire and life safety code documentation and maintenance issues, including missing inspection records and improperly maintained fire doors and equipment. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed earlier staffing and training deficiencies, and recent inspections indicate improvement in compliance with licensing and safety requirements.
