Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
This facility’s inspection record is mixed, with recent compliance but prior deficiencies in reporting and medication management. On September 30, 2025, the annual inspection found no deficiencies and proper infection control, but a May 23, 2025 complaint investigation cited two failures to report an aggressive incident as required. Earlier in 2024, substantiated findings included untimely medication refills and inaccurate documentation, though other complaints were unsubstantiated and the facility showed consistent improvement in safety and cleanliness.
