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

The most recent inspection on March 12, 2025 found the facility to be in compliance with Medicare, Medicaid, and state licensure requirements following a follow-up visit related to a complaint investigation. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies mainly involving resident safety during transfers and care plan development, as well as dietary services respecting resident preferences. A substantiated complaint in February 2025 cited failures in accident prevention when a resident was dropped from a lift and another was transferred without required assistance, leading to staff terminations; no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Earlier complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, and the facility addressed prior deficiencies with corrective actions and monitoring. The inspection history indicates some challenges with resident safety and care planning that the facility has worked to correct, with the most recent follow-up showing compliance.
