Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating generally good compliance with regulations. However, some reports did cite deficiencies, primarily related to resident supervision, incident reporting, and medication and cleaning supply storage, with one substantiated case of abusive handling by staff in 2021. The most recent inspection on August 18, 2025, had no deficiencies but noted ceiling leaks requiring repair. Older reports showed some issues with staff failing to report falls and providing adequate supervision, but these concerns have not appeared in the latest visits, suggesting some improvement. No fines, license suspensions, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports.
