Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on June 16, 2025, identified deficiencies related to activities of daily living care and infection control during medication administration. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of citations involving resident care issues such as assistance with daily living activities, medication management, infection control, and environmental maintenance. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including one with immediate jeopardy in late 2023 related to enteral feeding practices that resulted in a resident’s death, though that issue was addressed with corrective actions. Fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. While deficiencies have recurred over time, recent inspections indicate some corrective actions and partial improvements in compliance.
