Most inspections found no deficiencies, with routine annual visits consistently showing full compliance in areas such as safety, infection control, medication management, and staff training. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations of lack of care and failure to report incidents. One complaint investigation in April 2024 was substantiated for a minor issue involving a delayed refund of prepaid rent fees to a resident’s estate, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed. The most recent report from August 28, 2025, was clean with no deficiencies cited, indicating improvement and consistent adherence to regulations over time. Overall, the facility’s record shows mostly compliance with only isolated minor issues.
An unannounced required annual inspection was conducted to evaluate compliance with licensing requirements and facility standards.
