Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on September 24, 2024, found multiple deficiencies related to food preparation, staff training, emergency preparedness, physical environment maintenance, safety plans, and contract documentation. Earlier inspections showed similar issues, and this follow-up survey confirmed that previous correction orders were substantially met, though several citations remained. Inspectors noted recurring themes involving compliance with food codes, staff orientation and training, emergency and fire safety planning, and facility maintenance. No complaint investigations or enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The pattern of findings suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory requirements, with some progress made through follow-up verification.
