The most recent inspection on November 20, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to infection control during wound care, medication administration delays, timely reporting of injuries, and staffing ratios. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues such as failure to report injuries and abuse promptly, incomplete care plans, and medication documentation errors. Enforcement actions, fines, or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s record indicates some ongoing challenges, but the absence of deficiencies in the latest inspection suggests improvement over time.
