The most recent inspection on June 11, 2025, found no deficiencies related to the complaint investigated. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving medication management, life safety code compliance, and individualized resident care, including failure to follow physician orders and inadequate fire safety maintenance. Complaint investigations generally resulted in no deficiencies, though a few substantiated complaints cited issues such as failure to report abuse timely and inadequate care planning for residents with dementia-related behaviors. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent clean inspections suggest some improvement following prior citations, particularly in complaint investigations and medication handling.
