Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on March 11, 2025, found one deficiency related to admission standards, with a plan of correction approved. Earlier inspections showed a mix of results, including a December 18, 2024, inspection with no deficiencies and a March 28, 2024, renewal inspection that cited issues in admission standards, resident services, records and reports, and retention standards. Complaint investigations were not a factor in these reports, and enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The main themes of deficiencies involved admission and retention standards as well as resident services and documentation. The pattern suggests some improvement since the last renewal inspection, with fewer issues noted in the most recent complaint investigation.
