Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on January 22, 2024, identified a deficiency related to a direct care staff member who spoke very limited English and was unable to communicate emergency procedures while working alone during night shifts. Earlier inspections, including the original licensing visits in 2015 and 2017, found the facility in compliance with licensing requirements and approved a change of ownership without issues. The main deficiency involved staff qualifications and communication abilities during night shifts. Complaint investigations were limited to the 2024 case, which was substantiated based on the language barrier issue, but residents reported no problems with care or communication overall. The record shows a long period without deficiencies until the recent finding, indicating a new area of concern.
