Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating that many concerns raised were not supported by evidence. The most recent report from September 25, 2025, included two complaint investigations with no deficiencies cited. However, there have been some isolated deficiencies over time, primarily related to medication management, including improper medication administration and disposal, and one instance of failure to conduct safety checks after a resident fall. These issues were addressed with staff terminations and additional training, and there is no indication of ongoing severe problems or enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions. The facility’s record shows improvement in recent years, with the latest inspections free of deficiencies and complaints mostly unsubstantiated.
