Most inspections found no deficiencies, with several complaint investigations unsubstantiated, reflecting generally good compliance. The most recent report from August 19, 2025, had no deficiencies cited, though it noted further investigation was needed after a death report. Earlier reports identified some isolated issues, including a serious deficiency in July 2025 when a resident left the facility unnoticed for several hours, posing an immediate health and safety risk, and deficiencies related to staff training on incontinence care and documentation of dentures in 2023 and 2022. Medication management was also cited once in 2021 for an inaccurate medication log, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have improved recently, with no deficiencies in the latest inspections following earlier isolated concerns.
This unannounced case management visit was conducted in response to a death report submitted by the facility.
Findings
The Licensing Program Analyst obtained some documentation from the facility. No deficiencies were cited, but the matter requires further investigation.
