Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent report on September 11, 2025, which noted the facility was clean, organized, and had proper food and medication storage. However, the July 21, 2025 annual inspection cited a serious deficiency for hot water temperatures exceeding safe limits, posing an immediate safety risk that was addressed during the visit. Earlier, the July 26, 2024 inspection found multiple significant issues such as exceeding the fire clearance for non-ambulatory residents, staff working without background clearance, and unpaid licensing fees, resulting in immediate civil penalties. Several complaint investigations, including one in September 2024 regarding resident restraint, were unsubstantiated or resolved without deficiencies. The facility appears to have improved since mid-2024, with fewer and less severe issues noted in the most recent inspections.
