Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating generally good compliance. The most recent report from October 29, 2025, did not cite any deficiencies but noted that further investigation is required related to ongoing complaints. Past issues included delayed response times to resident call pendants posing immediate health risks in May 2025 and insufficient catheter care for one resident, both substantiated with deficiencies cited. Other isolated deficiencies involved missing staffing records due to software changes, staff training gaps, and a prior elevator malfunction that was later resolved. The facility’s record shows some improvement over time, with recent inspections mostly clear of deficiencies and many complaints found unsubstantiated.
