Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent report on September 12, 2025, which was clean with all areas such as infection control and medication management satisfactory. Earlier reports showed some issues, notably in September 2023 when multiple immediate health risks were identified, including expired food, unsecured medications, and excessively hot water, all of which were promptly addressed by the administrator. The September 2024 inspection cited two deficiencies related to medication administration inconsistencies and missing annual medical assessments for a resident with dementia, but these were less severe and isolated. There were no fines, enforcement actions, or license issues noted in any report. Several complaint investigations were not applicable as no complaints were filed during this period.
