Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on November 22, 2024, found the facility in compliance with no deficiencies noted. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of some deficiencies related mainly to medication administration documentation and emergency preparedness, including generator testing and medication storage issues. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for one in October 2024 where a deficiency was cited for inaccurate narcotic medication records, which the facility addressed with corrective actions. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The overall trend suggests some improvement in compliance, particularly in emergency preparedness and medication management, though isolated issues have recurred.
