Most inspections found no deficiencies, with routine visits and complaint investigations consistently showing the facility to be clean, well-maintained, and compliant with regulations. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations related to resident care, food service, and staff responsiveness. However, there were isolated deficiencies substantiated in late 2023 and early 2024 involving lack of supervision that led to a resident wandering away and suffering hypothermia, as well as failure to issue a proper refund, resulting in a civil penalty. The most recent report from May 12, 2025, had no deficiencies and found no health or safety concerns during a follow-up on resident falls, indicating improvement in oversight and care. No fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports.
The visit was an unannounced Case Management follow-up on an incident report submitted for three residents who experienced falls or fractures.
