Inspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent annual inspection on August 20, 2025, which was clean with no issues noted. Earlier reports showed a few isolated deficiencies, mainly related to medication management and documentation from February 2024, where staff failed to administer prescribed medications properly and charged for services not provided; these were the most serious findings but did not result in fines or enforcement actions listed in the reports. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations about resident care, safety, and staff conduct. A substantiated complaint in April 2021 involved a staff member vaping in the kitchen, which led to employee termination and a smoke-free environment violation, but no further similar issues appeared afterward. Overall, the facility’s record shows improvement over time with recent inspections consistently free of deficiencies.
