A violation that poses an immediate risk to resident health or safety, or represents a substantial failure to comply with licensing requirements.

Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Most inspections found no deficiencies, showing the facility generally meets regulatory standards and maintains a safe environment. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating that many concerns raised by residents or others were not confirmed. However, there have been repeated deficiencies related to residents’ personal rights, including unlawful eviction procedures, denial of access to personal belongings or communication devices, and resident-on-resident harassment. The most recent inspection on September 4, 2025, still cited a personal rights violation, suggesting this remains an area needing improvement.
