Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on October 25, 2024, identified deficiencies related to quality of care and life safety, with 15 health and 3 life safety citations mostly at Level 2 severity, many of which were corrected by December 2024. Earlier inspections showed fewer issues, including a single citation in March 2022 for Covid-19 reporting that was not corrected at the time, and at least one inspection with no deficiencies. The main themes of deficiencies involved care planning, infection control, medication management, staffing levels, and some building safety concerns. No fines, license actions, or enforcement measures were listed in the available reports, and complaint investigations were not substantiated. The facility appears to have addressed many recent issues, indicating some improvement following the October 2024 findings.
