The most recent inspection on July 2, 2025, was a complaint investigation that found no deficiencies related to the allegations. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with some reports noting deficiencies in resident care, medication management, infection control, and Life Safety Code compliance. Prior issues included privacy and dignity concerns, medication labeling and storage problems, and fire safety code violations, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, though one substantiated complaint in early 2024 involved a transportation safety issue that was promptly corrected. The facility’s record shows some improvement in Life Safety Code compliance and complaint outcomes in recent months, though resident care and medication management issues have recurred over time.
