Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent annual inspection on September 8, 2025, which was clean with no citations issued. However, two complaint investigations earlier in 2025 identified some issues: in May, a resident ingested dishwashing soap left accessible, leading to substantiated findings about hazardous item storage and supervision lapses; in December 2024, the facility failed to report a scabies outbreak within the required timeframe, which was also substantiated. Both incidents were addressed with corrective actions, and no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The facility showed improvement over time, with the latest inspections showing no deficiencies after these isolated issues. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, but no ongoing or severe problems were noted in recent visits.
