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 October 15, 2025, found no deficiencies and confirmed the facility met licensing requirements after correcting a prior issue with failure to notify the Department of a change of ownership. Earlier inspections showed recurring deficiencies primarily related to fire and life safety code compliance, including missing documentation for fire system maintenance, improperly maintained fire doors, and emergency power system issues, as well as some concerns with resident care coordination and staff training. Complaint investigations substantiated failures in documentation, laundry sanitation, and resident service agreement updates, but most complaints were addressed through follow-up inspections with no ongoing deficiencies. Enforcement actions included civil fines related to tuberculosis testing deficiencies and fire safety violations, with no license suspensions or revocations listed in the available reports. The inspection history indicates improvement over time, with recent follow-ups showing correction of previously cited deficiencies and no new issues noted in the latest report.
