Prior inspections generally showed compliance, with one complaint investigation on November 4, 2022, identifying deficiencies related to a resident not receiving required showers and the use of an unauthorized bedrail without proper documentation. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaints were unsubstantiated except for the shower and bedrail issues noted in 2022. The inspection history suggests the facility has maintained compliance with some isolated issues that were addressed over time.
