Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on August 26, 2025, identified deficiencies related to residents’ annual medical evaluations and additional assessments not being current. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of medication administration issues, food safety concerns, fire drill documentation gaps, and staff training deficiencies. Prior complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one substantiated case in March 2025 involving medication administration errors that led to staff termination and enhanced oversight. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility has shown some improvement in addressing prior deficiencies through accepted plans of correction and ongoing audits, though some issues have recurred over time.
