The most recent inspection on November 22, 2024, found deficiencies related to kitchen maintenance, food sanitation, and administration compliance that had not been corrected as of the last revisit. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with food sanitation, administration compliance, service plans, staffing tools, and privacy, with many deficiencies corrected upon revisit but some recurring over time. Inspectors cited primarily food sanitation and administrative compliance issues, along with concerns about acuity-based staffing and individual privacy in prior reports. Complaint investigations did not appear in the available reports, and enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with food service and administrative compliance, with some improvement after revisits but persistent issues noted in recent surveys.
