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 January 15, 2025, found deficiencies related to failure to update service plans to reflect tenants’ identified needs. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving medication administration, supervision, updating service plans, and maintaining safety features such as door alarms and fencing. Complaint investigations mostly resulted in findings about service plan updates, medication errors, and supervision, with no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions listed in the available reports. Most complaints were unsubstantiated or resulted in minor citations, with one substantiated case involving missing medications in 2009. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with documentation and tenant care planning, with some repeated issues but no clear trend of improvement or worsening over time.
