Most inspections found no deficiencies, with routine annual visits in March 2025 and April 2024 showing full compliance and no issues. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including recent allegations in June 2025 about medication errors, staff harassment, and failure to inform responsible parties. However, earlier reports from 2021 to 2022 included some serious findings related to resident safety, such as elopement incidents posing immediate health risks and substantiated rough handling by staff in July 2021, which led to staff suspension and resignation. The most recent report from June 16, 2025, had no deficiencies, indicating improvement over time. Minor or isolated issues appeared sporadically, but no fines, license suspensions, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports.
