Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on May 7, 2025, was a complaint investigation in which the facility was found to be in substantial compliance with relevant regulations. Earlier inspections showed mixed results, with a biennial survey on January 23, 2024, identifying multiple deficiencies related to medication administration by unlicensed staff, incomplete staff training, dietary management issues, sanitation practices, and facility maintenance. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations prior to the most recent inspection were unsubstantiated, with inspectors finding substantial compliance in both cases.
