Inspection Reports Summary An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on August 9, 2025, included enforcement action with a fine of $1,250 that was paid in full. Earlier inspections showed repeated deficiencies primarily related to personnel verification, caregiver training documentation, fall prevention training, and facility safety measures such as means of exiting the building. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues with administration compliance, resident rights, medication administration, and environmental safety, but no license suspensions or immediate jeopardy findings were noted. Fines totaling several thousand dollars were imposed over time, reflecting ongoing challenges with documentation and training compliance. The pattern suggests persistent issues in staff qualifications and safety protocols, with no clear indication of sustained improvement.
