Most inspections found no deficiencies, with the facility consistently clean, safe, and compliant in areas such as infection control, staffing, and resident care. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including one in November 2020 involving medication administration and staff conduct. However, in January 2023, two complaint investigations substantiated issues related to resident rights, specifically delays in refunding fees after resident deaths and problems with admission agreements not meeting regulatory requirements. These deficiencies were addressed with a plan of correction, and subsequent inspections, including the most recent on August 18, 2025, found no deficiencies. This suggests the facility has improved its compliance with resident rights and administrative procedures over time.
