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 October 1, 2025, found the facility in substantial compliance but cited several deficiencies related to food preparation, infection control, fire protection, and resident service plan documentation, resulting in fines totaling $1,000. Earlier inspections were not provided, so broader inspection patterns cannot be assessed from the available data. The main issues involved compliance with the Minnesota Food Code, maintaining an infection control program, and meeting State Fire Code requirements, including fire door functionality and smoke alarms. No complaint investigations were noted in the latest report, and enforcement actions included the assessed fines but no license suspensions or warnings were listed in the available reports. Without additional historical data, it is unclear whether these findings represent a new or ongoing pattern.
