Most inspections at this facility were clean and showed compliance with safety and care standards, including the most recent monitoring visits in 2023 and the annual inspection in April 4, 2024, which had no deficiencies. However, the April 7, 2025 annual inspection identified two serious issues: a reinforcement lock on the front door that blocked emergency exit, resulting in a civil penalty, and incomplete medication administration records. Earlier reports from 2023 showed multiple deficiencies related to safety hazards, documentation, and food storage, with civil penalties issued at that time as well. The facility appeared to improve after those 2023 findings, with follow-up visits showing no deficiencies until the recent 2025 inspection revealed new concerns. No license suspensions or fines beyond the civil penalties were noted, and no complaints were reported or substantiated in the available records.
The visit was an unannounced annual inspection conducted by Licensing Program Analysts to evaluate compliance with licensing requirements at the facility.
Findings
The inspection identified safety hazards including a reinforcement lock on the front door that prohibited emergency exit, an expired administrator certificate, incomplete medication administration records, and maintenance issues such as a malfunctioning emergency gate and rust in the shower. A civil penalty was issued for the door lock violation.
