Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on December 3, 2025, found the facility to be in substantial compliance with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident dignity and rights, nursing staffing levels, medication management, and food safety, with some issues involving infection control and safe transfer practices that resulted in resident injuries. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including cases of rough handling by staff, unsafe mechanical lift use causing fractures, and pest control failures, but fines or license actions were not listed in the available reports. Most deficiencies were corrected upon re-inspection, and complaint investigations often resulted in findings of substantial compliance or successful corrective actions. The facility’s inspection history shows periods of improvement following citations, though some recurring themes have appeared over time.
