Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on July 30, 2025, found no deficiencies during the investigation of incidents, complaints, and the recertification visit for the Assisted Living Program for People with Dementia. Earlier inspections showed a generally clean record with occasional isolated deficiencies, including a care plan update issue in December 2023 and a training deficiency in October 2019. Prior complaint investigations identified themes related to tenant evaluations, service plan updates, staff training, and medication administration, with some fines assessed in earlier years but no enforcement actions listed in the available reports for recent inspections. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and substantiated cases primarily involved documentation and training issues rather than immediate harm. The facility’s inspection history indicates improvement over time, with recent reports showing no regulatory insufficiencies.
