The most recent inspection on March 31, 2022, cited one deficiency related to a substantiated complaint, while two other complaints investigated at that time were unsubstantiated. Earlier inspections showed a mix of results, including a period in early 2020 when multiple deficiencies were cited involving resident care, infection control, dietary management, and notification procedures, as well as some life safety code issues related to fire alarm and sprinkler maintenance. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the one in March 2022 and two substantiated complaints in March 2020, which led to several cited deficiencies. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed many prior deficiencies over time, with fewer issues noted in the most recent inspection compared to earlier years.
