The most recent inspection on October 9, 2025 found the facility in substantial compliance with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident rights during discharge, care planning, accident prevention, and medication management. Several complaint investigations were substantiated in prior years, including issues with abuse, inadequate nursing supervision, and failure to follow physician orders, but no fines or license actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaints investigated recently were unsubstantiated, and the facility corrected prior deficiencies as verified by re-inspections. The overall trend suggests improvement, with the latest inspections showing compliance after addressing earlier concerns.
