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 June 16, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies including privacy concerns with video recording, administrator training shortfalls, safety hazards with bath rugs, food contamination and temperature issues, fire safety timing problems, incomplete medical evaluations, medication storage and availability issues, and missing resident signatures on support plans. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related to medication administration, fire drill documentation, staff training, and safety procedures, with some issues recurring over time such as medication discrepancies and fire safety concerns. Complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or addressed promptly, with no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports. Prior reports noted isolated incidents of staff abuse and pest infestation, but no license suspensions or fines were reported. The overall trend suggests ongoing challenges in compliance with regulatory requirements, with some corrective actions accepted but new deficiencies continuing to appear.
