An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
This facility’s inspection record is mixed, with recent citations for staff working without proper criminal clearance and outdoor passageway obstructions, but no immediate jeopardy or harm-level findings. The most recent inspection on September 17, 2025, cited one deficiency and imposed a $500 civil penalty for a staff clearance violation, while the July 25, 2025 annual inspection flagged one safety-related deficiency for obstructed outdoor passageways. Earlier complaints in 2023 substantiated unsanitary conditions and unauthorized non-staff presence, resulting in multiple penalties, but follow-up visits in 2025 showed some correction of prior issues.
