Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on July 11, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a mix of results, with some reports noting deficiencies related to resident care, medication management, and abuse policy implementation. Prior issues included delayed treatment of pressure injuries, failure to report falls, incomplete medication assessments, and inadequate investigation and reporting of abuse allegations. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for one in September 2023 where the facility failed to investigate and report an abuse allegation properly. The recent clean inspections suggest improvement in compliance compared to earlier findings.
