Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the two most recent annual inspections on January 2 and January 10, 2025, which were both clean. However, some complaint investigations identified isolated issues, primarily related to resident care and dignity, such as delays in incontinence care and staff comments that caused a resident to feel ashamed in the March 20, 2025 report. Earlier deficiencies included a missed background check for a staff member in February 2023, which resulted in a $500 fine, and incomplete incident reporting and insufficient assistance leading to a resident fall in March 2021. Several complaint investigations, including allegations of poor wound care, staffing shortages, and abuse, were unsubstantiated. The facility appears to have improved over time, with recent inspections showing no deficiencies after addressing prior concerns.
