Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on August 21, 2025, found no deficiencies during complaint investigations related to quality of care. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with the May 15, 2025 annual survey citing deficiencies in mental health assessments, skin evaluations, and incontinence care. Prior complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for a substantiated case in January 2024 involving failure to protect a resident from misappropriation of property and exploitation by staff, though no enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The main recurring issues involved resident care coordination, particularly related to assessments and incontinence management, as well as staff oversight in preventing exploitation. The facility appears to have addressed prior deficiencies with corrective actions and has shown improvement in recent complaint investigations.
