Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on October 10, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a mixed history with some deficiencies related primarily to resident dignity, medication administration, abuse reporting, and staff training in dementia care. Complaint investigations substantiated issues such as failure to respect resident dignity, delayed injury reporting, improper use of physical restraints, and incomplete dementia care training, but more recent complaint investigations were unsubstantiated. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The inspection record indicates improvement over time, with the most recent inspections showing no cited deficiencies.
