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

This facility’s inspection record is mixed, with repeated medication management and resident dignity issues cited alongside some substantiated safety and maintenance deficiencies. The most recent inspection on March 4, 2025, found one deficiency for medication mismanagement that led to resident hospitalization, and prior visits in late 2024 substantiated staff altercations, failure to assist with medications, and unsafe living conditions. Several other complaints were unsubstantiated, but the record shows ongoing challenges in medication administration, resident rights, and facility upkeep.
