Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or unfounded, indicating generally good compliance. The most recent report from October 22, 2025, had no deficiencies and focused on reviewing updated fall protocols. Past substantiated issues included inadequate supervision and fall prevention leading to a resident injury in April 2025, and earlier concerns about medication management and safeguarding resident property, some of which were resolved with refunds or corrective actions. There were no fines listed in the most recent reports, though a civil penalty was issued in 2021 for a late plan of correction submission. Overall, the facility’s record shows improvement over time, with recent inspections consistently clean and complaint allegations mostly unsubstantiated.
The visit was an informal office meeting held on 10/22/2025 to discuss complaint history, including a complaint dated 09/25/2024, and to review updated fall protocols for residents identified as fall risks.
