Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating generally consistent compliance with regulations. The most recent report from October 15, 2025, was free of deficiencies following a follow-up on a self-reported incident involving inappropriate staff behavior, which resulted in staff termination. Earlier reports cited isolated issues such as a non-functional air conditioning unit posing a potential health risk in June 2025 and medication record inaccuracies in January 2025. More serious concerns occurred in late 2024, including inadequate supervision leading to a resident elopement and medication errors, both posing immediate health and safety risks; these incidents were addressed with corrective actions. Overall, the facility’s recent inspections show improvement after these events, with no deficiencies noted in the latest visits.
