Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on July 3, 2025, found no deficiencies during the revisit survey verifying correction of earlier cited issues. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies mainly related to food safety and emergency preparedness, including improper food storage, labeling, and sanitation, as well as multiple Life Safety Code violations such as obstructed exits and fire safety system maintenance. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for one substantiated case in February 2025 involving failure to protect residents from abuse and related reporting deficiencies. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed prior deficiencies effectively, as indicated by the clean results in the most recent revisit survey.
