The most recent inspection on August 25, 2025, found no deficiencies and approved the facility’s license renewal. Earlier inspections showed some deficiencies related to nursing assessments, client care, supervision of aides, infection prevention staffing, and complaint investigation procedures. Prior reports noted issues with failure to update care plans promptly, inadequate supervision of clients with cognitive impairments, and incomplete complaint investigations, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations included substantiated violations mostly involving client care and agency procedures, while most complaints were addressed without further enforcement. The inspection history suggests improvement over time, with the latest renewal inspection showing no deficiencies after previous citations.
