The most recent inspection on November 20, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with a substantiated complaint in July 2023 regarding residents’ privacy in shared apartments and several deficiencies cited in April 2022 related to employee job descriptions, resident assessments, care plan updates, and medical record maintenance. Complaint investigations prior to 2023 were mostly unsubstantiated, including one in July 2021 where the facility was found in substantial compliance. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The inspection history suggests some improvement over time, with the most recent survey free of cited issues.
