Most inspections found no deficiencies, with the facility consistently maintaining up-to-date staff training, proper resident assessments, and timely communication with physicians and families. The most recent report from October 1, 2025, had no deficiencies and focused on legal and compliance issues with all trainings completed. Past deficiencies mainly involved medication management errors, care and supervision issues related to fall prevention, and some maintenance concerns like a faulty call signal system, but these were addressed over time. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and enforcement actions included a $250 fine in March 2023 for repeated medication errors and a noncompliance conference in late 2023 addressing care and supervision deficiencies. Overall, the facility’s recent inspections show improvement and compliance with regulatory requirements.
