The most recent inspection on December 12, 2025, included deficiencies that resulted in a $1,000 fine, which has been paid in full.

Enforcement actions included fines ranging from $250 to $2,500, but no license suspensions or immediate jeopardy findings were listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows ongoing challenges with documentation and service plan compliance, with no clear trend of sustained improvement.
