The most recent inspection on April 15, 2025 found the facility in substantial compliance with no deficiencies noted. Earlier inspections showed some recurring issues related to resident notification policies, coding accuracy, and care planning, including deficiencies in providing timely Medicare Non-Coverage notices, bed hold policy documentation, and baseline care plans. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for a substantiated case in August 2022 involving inadequate supervision and training related to use of a standing lift that resulted in a resident fall and fracture. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows some improvement with recent plans of correction accepted and the latest survey indicating compliance.
