Most inspections found no deficiencies, with the facility consistently maintaining clean, safe, and well-maintained conditions. The most recent report from December 31, 2024, was a complaint investigation that found no substantiated issues regarding staff behavior. Two earlier complaint investigations in 2024 also found all allegations unsubstantiated, showing a pattern of concerns that were not confirmed. However, there were two substantiated deficiencies in the past: a medication error in December 2021 where a resident received another’s medication, and an incident in January 2024 when a gate was left open during construction, posing a safety risk. Since then, no deficiencies have been cited, indicating improvement in compliance and safety practices.
