Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on February 24, 2025, found the facility in compliance with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to resident care, including supervision leading to a resident fall and fracture, pressure ulcer treatment, and issues with food preparation and kitchen sanitation. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated or corrected, though some prior complaints were substantiated with deficiencies related to care planning, medication management, and environmental cleanliness. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports.
