Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on October 15, 2025, found no deficiencies during the recertification visit. Earlier inspections showed a generally compliant record with isolated deficiencies mainly related to staff training and policy adherence. Inspectors cited issues such as failure to complete dependent adult abuse training, incomplete abuse record checks before employment, and one substantiated complaint involving unauthorized staff visits and an inappropriate relationship with a tenant. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the substantiated case in June 2024, which led to staff termination. The facility’s inspection history suggests improvement over time, with the latest inspection showing no regulatory insufficiencies.
