Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on March 25, 2024, found that some deficiencies identified during the initial licensure survey in February 2024 were corrected, but the earlier survey had noted issues related to abuse reporting and investigation, change of condition monitoring, treatment orders, self-administration of medications, and fire and life safety. Prior to that, a November 8, 2023 inspection found the facility in substantial compliance with no deficiencies. Inspectors cited deficiencies mainly in regulatory systems and safety during the initial licensure process. No fines, enforcement actions, or complaint investigations were listed in the available reports. The record shows improvement from the initial licensure survey to the most recent follow-up inspection.
