The most recent inspection on August 13, 2024, found no deficiencies during a complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed some deficiencies related mainly to staff background checks, personnel file maintenance, medication administration, food safety, and fire drill documentation. Prior complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one substantiated case in June 2023 involving multiple issues such as food storage, medication handling, and facility maintenance. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed previous concerns, as recent investigations have not identified new deficiencies.
