Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on July 21, 2025, identified a deficiency related to the failure to establish a family council in the dementia special care unit as required by state law. Earlier inspections showed mostly compliance, with no violations found during monitoring visits in late 2023, although a complaint investigation then noted a failure to ensure client safety and timely reporting of an abuse allegation, which was ultimately unsubstantiated. The main themes of deficiencies involved administrative oversight in dementia care and adherence to abuse reporting policies. Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated, and no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The inspection history shows some isolated issues but no clear pattern of worsening or repeated deficiencies over time.
