Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent visit on May 14, 2025, which was clean and addressed a prior concern about fire extinguisher accessibility. Earlier reports did cite a few isolated issues, such as staff working while COVID-positive in August 2024 and a medtech lacking a First Aid/CPR card in March 2025. A complaint investigation in May 2025 substantiated that staff caused bruising to a resident during an elopement incident, resulting in a citation for violating personal rights. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, but none led to fines or license actions, which are not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have improved compliance over time, with recent inspections showing fewer deficiencies and no enforcement actions.
