Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on October 4, 2024, found deficiencies related to food preparation, infection control, employee records, fire safety, emergency notifications, resident assessments, and physical environment maintenance. Earlier inspections were not provided for comparison, so the broader inspection pattern is unclear. Inspectors cited issues mainly in infection control practices, documentation of resident care and services, and safety measures such as smoke alarms and fire evacuation planning. No complaint investigations or enforcement actions, including fines or license suspensions, were listed in the available reports. Without prior data, it is not possible to determine whether these issues represent an improvement or decline over time.
