Inspection Report Summary
Most inspections found deficiencies related to immediate health and safety risks, including unsafe storage of cleaning supplies and medications, excessively high water temperature, lack of emergency drills, and staff lacking current first aid and CPR certifications. The facility also faced enforcement with a $100 civil penalty in 2021 for an unapproved staff member and failure to report COVID-19 cases. The most recent inspection on July 21, 2025, identified two deficiencies involving unsafe storage of cleaning supplies and unlocked medications, continuing some concerns from prior years. Earlier issues included unpermitted building alterations and a padlocked exit gate, both posing safety risks. While some problems have persisted, the facility has addressed others, but no clear overall improvement or worsening trend is evident.
