Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on February 7, 2025, cited one deficiency related to records and reports, with a plan of correction under review. Earlier inspections showed a mix of results, including several citations for admission standards, food service, personnel, resident protections, and resident funds, with plans of correction approved in those cases. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, and no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Prior reports noted issues primarily with resident protections and documentation, while food service and personnel were also areas of concern. The inspection history suggests some ongoing challenges with compliance, but the facility has addressed deficiencies through plans of correction without enforcement actions.
