Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on June 11, 2025, found the facility to be in compliance following correction of prior deficiencies from a complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of citations related mainly to maintenance issues, such as wheelchair repairs and Life Safety Code violations involving sprinkler systems, firewalls, and exit door locking devices. Complaint investigations included a substantiated case where the facility failed to notify a resident’s responsible party of a significant change in condition, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaints were unsubstantiated, and follow-up surveys consistently confirmed correction of cited deficiencies. The facility’s recent inspections indicate improvement, with the latest review confirming all prior issues were addressed.
