Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found deficiencies, but the facility has shown some improvement over time. The most recent report from January 16, 2025, noted only one deficiency related to the use of full bed rails for a resident not on hospice care, which poses a potential safety risk. Earlier reports cited more issues, including medication labeling and storage problems, incomplete staff training, and water temperature concerns, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. A complaint investigation in June 2022 was unsubstantiated. While some deficiencies involved resident care and staff training, recent findings suggest the facility is addressing these areas.
