Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on May 7, 2025, identified a deficiency for failing to employ a licensed administrator to manage day-to-day operations, which was substantiated in a complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related to resident care, including issues with dignity during meal service, medication administration by unqualified personnel, and documentation such as unsigned service plans. There was also a substantiated abuse complaint in November 2024 involving physical and verbal abuse by a staff member, which led to the termination of that employee. Most other complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or found no related deficiencies, and enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility showed some improvement by January 2025 when a reinspection found it in compliance following prior deficiencies.
