An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on October 20, 2025, found multiple deficiencies related to fire safety documentation and equipment, including fire alarm trouble mode, missing fire drill records, and failed fire/smoke dampers. Earlier inspections showed a consistent pattern of similar issues with fire alarm systems, sprinkler testing, fire door inspections, and emergency lighting documentation. Complaint investigations were not noted in the recent reports, and no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Prior complaint investigations included a substantiated case in early 2023 involving infection control deficiencies related to COVID-19 transmission, which was subsequently corrected. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with fire safety documentation but no clear worsening or improvement trend in recent months.
