Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on September 3, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of occasional deficiencies primarily related to abuse reporting, quality of care, care planning, health services policies, pharmacy services, and Life Safety Code issues such as fire safety and electrical system maintenance. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one deficiency cited for abuse reporting in January 2025 and a few others related to care and administrative policies in prior reports. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The overall trend suggests improvement, as recent inspections have consistently found no deficiencies.
