Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found no deficiencies, with several complaint investigations determined to be unsubstantiated. However, some reports cited deficiencies related primarily to medication assistance, resident care, and staff training. The most serious issues included a substantiated neglect case in May 2025 where a resident sustained a severe burn, and multiple missed medication doses documented in October 2025. The most recent report from October 7, 2025, had one deficiency for missed medication doses but no severe enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows some improvement in areas like record keeping and supervision, though medication management and resident care remain areas needing attention.
