The most recent inspection on October 25, 2023, found deficiencies related to medication and treatment procedures as well as water temperature controls. Earlier inspections were not provided for comparison, so broader patterns cannot be determined from the available data. Inspectors cited issues with unsigned discontinuation orders and medication administration records, along with water temperature exceeding the required safe limit. No complaint investigations or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Without additional inspection history, it is unclear whether these issues represent a new concern or part of an ongoing pattern.
