Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on August 7, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues related primarily to retaining only ambulatory residents capable of self-preservation and timely reporting of serious injuries to the Department. Some complaints were substantiated, including failure to respond appropriately to a resident’s fall and delays in reporting injuries, but fines or enforcement actions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or found no violations. The facility’s record appears to have improved over time, with the latest inspection showing compliance after prior citations.
