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

The most recent inspection on October 21, 2025, found no deficiencies following a complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to medication administration, staff training, and communication of care plans. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues such as missed medication doses, uncertified staff administering medications, and inadequate staff training in the memory care center. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports, and most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated. The facility appears to have addressed prior deficiencies, as follow-up visits in October 2025 found no ongoing violations.
