Capacity: 127

Visit Reason
The visit was an unannounced complaint investigation triggered by allegations that staff did not ensure residents were accorded reasonable accommodations and that staff were not properly addressing room repairs for residents in care.

The investigation included interviews, document reviews, and physical plant tours. Both allegations were found unsubstantiated due to lack of sufficient evidence.
