Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including a recent one on August 11, 2025, which found no evidence that staff failed to address a resident’s fall risk. The most recent report from August 7, 2025, identified a single technical violation related to residents diagnosed with dementia, but no complaints were noted. Earlier in 2024, substantiated complaints involved staff misconduct, including a verbal altercation with a resident that was not reported promptly and resulted in staff reassignment and resignation. These serious findings from 2024 contrast with the cleaner record in 2025, suggesting some improvement over time. Other issues noted were minor or isolated, and no fines, license suspensions, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports.
