Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on November 18, 2025, found no deficiencies during the licensure resurvey and complaint investigations. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to incomplete negotiated service agreements, staff documentation issues, and some concerns with food temperature and tuberculosis screening compliance. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for a substantiated case in 2015 involving inadequate nursing care that led to resident hospitalization and staffing lapses. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s record indicates improvement over time, with all recent surveys showing correction of prior deficiencies and no new citations.
