Most inspections found no deficiencies, with several complaint investigations determined to be unfounded or unsubstantiated. The most recent report from July 17, 2025, was a complaint investigation that found no issues related to staff criminal background clearances. The only cited deficiency occurred in December 2024, when four staff members did not have criminal record clearances on file, which was considered an immediate risk. Since then, the facility has shown improvement, with no deficiencies noted in subsequent inspections. Other complaints about medication management, lighting, room safety, refunds, and safeguarding belongings were all found to be without merit or lacking evidence.
