Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on April 24, 2025, found no rule violations during a complaint investigation. Prior inspections showed mostly no deficiencies, with one substantiated complaint in March 2025 related to staff not completing the required continuing education hours. Earlier reports cited issues with medication administration documentation and timely medication refills in 2020, which led to missed doses and a hospital admission, but no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and no license suspensions or fines were noted. The inspection history suggests some improvement in compliance with medication management and staff training over time.
