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 July 19, 2016, found that all previously cited deficiencies had been corrected. Earlier inspections showed multiple deficiencies related mainly to environmental cleanliness, food sanitation, medication management—particularly monitoring black box warnings—and resident safety, including supervision to prevent elopement. Complaint investigations substantiated issues with resident supervision and medication practices, though fines or enforcement actions were not listed in the available reports. The facility submitted plans of correction addressing these areas, and follow-up visits confirmed many corrections over time. The inspection history indicates improvement in compliance, especially in environmental and safety concerns, by the time of the most recent revisit.
