Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on November 7, 2023, found one deficiency related to notifying of changes in injury, decline, or room, which was corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily in quality of care areas such as activities, ADL care, respiratory care, accident hazards, and transfer procedures, along with life safety issues including electrical systems, fire drills, and sprinkler maintenance. Complaint investigations did not identify any substantiated complaints, and no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Prior citations were corrected promptly, and the facility appears to have addressed many of the broader issues noted in earlier inspections. The trend suggests improvement over time, with fewer and more focused deficiencies in the most recent report.
