Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on August 17, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections also showed no deficiencies except for one in April 2025, when inspectors cited issues related to protective care and supervision after two residents eloped undetected and were not reported within the required timeframe. The main deficiencies involved inadequate oversight, failure to report incidents promptly, and incomplete records. Complaint investigations since then were unsubstantiated, with no rule violations cited. This pattern suggests improvement in compliance and oversight following the April findings.
