The most recent inspection on April 24, 2025, cited a deficiency for failing to verify annually that some residents were free from infectious tuberculosis. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to food safety and nutritional services, including improper food storage, preparation, and handling, as well as issues with dietary staff practices and menu approvals. Prior reports also noted problems with individualized service plans, resident evaluations, medication assessments, and infection control documentation. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with no fines or enforcement actions listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history indicates some recurring issues, particularly in food safety and resident documentation, with no clear trend of consistent improvement or worsening over time.
