Most inspections found no deficiencies, and the majority of complaint investigations were unsubstantiated. The facility’s most recent report from October 13, 2025, involved a case management visit with no deficiencies noted. Past deficiencies primarily involved medication administration, hospice care waiver compliance, staff training, and pest control issues, including bed bug infestations that were substantiated and cited in earlier years. Some complaints related to resident rights and care were substantiated in late 2021, including failure to provide timely medical attention and maintaining a safe environment, but these issues have not recurred in recent inspections. Overall, the facility appears to have addressed many prior concerns, with recent reports showing improvement and no new deficiencies.
An unannounced case management visit was conducted to amend a report and gather signatures related to complaint #56-AS-20241114215838.
