Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on October 23, 2025, found the facility to be in compliance with applicable assisted living regulations and cited no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed some deficiencies related mainly to resident care oversight, including failure to maintain an effective quality improvement program and issues with staff training on residents’ Individual Service Plans and abuse prevention. Complaint investigations substantiated verbal abuse by a caregiver and delayed internal reporting of such incidents, leading to staff termination and retraining. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The inspection history shows some recurring issues with abuse prevention and care plan management, but the most recent survey indicates improvement.
