The most recent inspection on October 8, 2025, identified deficiencies related to failure to protect residents from sexual abuse by another resident and failure to timely report the abuse to the Illinois Department of Public Health. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving staffing shortages, service plan accuracy, disaster preparedness, and communicable disease policies, including substantiated complaints about inadequate COVID-19 testing and reporting.
