Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on November 20, 2025, found deficiencies related to infection control, immunization policies, food safety, quality improvement, and licensure survey posting. Earlier inspections also noted issues with timely reporting of incidents affecting resident health and safety, as confirmed by a complaint investigation on the same date that identified failures to report multiple incidents to the state survey agency. The main themes across deficiencies involved infection control practices, immunization compliance, food service sanitation, and quality improvement processes. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The pattern of findings suggests ongoing challenges in regulatory compliance without clear improvement over time.
