Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on July 31, 2024, found no deficiencies and confirmed the facility was in compliance with all regulations. Prior inspections showed multiple deficiencies related mainly to documentation issues, incomplete negotiated service agreements, failure to investigate and report unexplained bruises, and safety concerns such as an unsafe bed assist device and inadequate tuberculosis screening. A complaint investigation in September 2023 identified immediate jeopardy due to failure to prevent a resident’s elopement and incomplete care planning. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed prior deficiencies promptly, as follow-up inspections consistently verified correction of earlier issues.
