Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on July 2, 2025 found the facility in compliance with Emergency Preparedness and Life Safety Code requirements, with no deficiencies cited. Prior inspections showed recurring deficiencies primarily related to Life Safety Code compliance, including emergency power system maintenance, fire alarm and sprinkler system testing, fire drills, and door hardware issues. Earlier reports also identified care-related deficiencies such as medication management, resident transfers, ADL assistance, and infection control, along with substantiated complaints involving resident abuse and medication errors. Enforcement actions included immediate jeopardy related to a substantiated sexual abuse complaint in late 2024, which was resolved after corrective measures, and no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent inspections indicate improvement in Life Safety and Emergency Preparedness compliance, although care-related issues have appeared intermittently over time.
