Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on December 17, 2024, found the facility in compliance with Life Safety Code and Medicare/Medicaid participation requirements, with no deficiencies cited. Prior inspections showed a pattern of Life Safety Code issues, particularly related to corridor doors not closing properly and emergency preparedness system maintenance, as well as care plan development, medication monitoring, and food storage concerns. Complaint investigations during this period were mostly unsubstantiated, with no deficiencies related to the allegations, and no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Earlier inspections identified deficiencies in resident care documentation, staffing coverage, infection control, and emergency preparedness training. The trend suggests improvement in Life Safety Code compliance and complaint outcomes, although some care planning and environmental issues were noted in prior surveys.
