The most recent inspection on November 13, 2024, identified multiple Level 2 deficiencies in health and life safety codes, all of which were corrected within a month or two. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar Level 2 deficiencies related mainly to activities of daily living (ADL) care, care planning, food sanitation, resident rights, and life safety systems, with all issues addressed promptly after each survey. Complaint investigations were not substantiated, and no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Prior reports also noted a single infection control deficiency during a COVID-19 survey, which was corrected quickly. The facility’s record shows recurring issues primarily in resident care and environmental safety, but timely corrections suggest ongoing efforts to maintain compliance.
