Most inspections of this facility found no deficiencies, including the most recent report dated September 18, 2025, which was perfect with no issues cited. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, showing that many allegations did not have supporting evidence.

The facility has shown some improvement over time, with recent annual inspections clean and no new medication or safety deficiencies reported. Older reports included more serious findings such as a resident being stabbed, medication mismanagement, and lapses in supervision, but these have not recurred in the latest inspections.
