Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on October 1, 2025, identified deficiencies related to abuse reporting, disaster plan review, and incident reporting. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues involving documentation, emergency preparedness, and employee qualifications, with some enforcement actions and fines noted in mid-2023 and mid-2024. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with no deficiencies found in several cases, though a few investigations did cite deficiencies primarily around documentation and compliance with reporting requirements. Enforcement actions included fines related to failures in CPR training documentation and personnel records, all of which have been paid in full, and no license suspensions or immediate jeopardy findings were listed in the available reports. The inspection history suggests ongoing challenges with documentation and regulatory compliance, with no clear improvement trend over time.
