The most recent inspection on June 12, 2025, identified one deficiency related to incomplete maintenance and testing documentation for the sprinkler system. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with sprinkler system maintenance and emergency preparedness, as well as deficiencies in resident notification for transfers and discharges, fall prevention, and sanitary food storage. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for one substantiated case involving failure to immediately report verbal abuse, which was corrected upon revisit. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent inspections suggest some ongoing challenges with facility maintenance and documentation, although complaint investigations have not indicated widespread compliance problems.
