Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections at this facility were clean, including the annual inspections on February 15, 2024, and March 14, 2025, which found no deficiencies. However, earlier reports revealed some serious issues, such as a Registered Sex Offender residing and working at the facility in late 2021, which led to a $500 fine and immediate health and safety concerns. Other deficiencies involved staff working without proper fingerprint clearance, expired training, unlocked hazardous chemicals, and lapses in emergency drills and documentation. The most recent inspection on August 8, 2025, found two deficiencies related to maintaining comfortable temperatures and adequate food supplies, but allegations of staff misconduct were unsubstantiated, and these issues were corrected afterward. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and the facility appears to have improved compliance over time.
