Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found some deficiencies, though one annual inspection from April 18, 2025, was deficiency-free, showing some improvement. Earlier reports, including a July 30, 2024 enforcement inspection, identified issues with exit controls that posed safety risks, resulting in a $500 fine. Other deficiencies involved food safety concerns, incomplete medical records, lapses in disaster plan review, and inadequate first aid response after a resident fall. Several complaint investigations led to substantiated findings related to these areas, but no immediate jeopardy or license actions were reported. The facility’s record shows some progress with the most recent inspection free of deficiencies, following prior isolated but meaningful issues.
