Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the annual inspection on December 1, 2023, and a complaint investigation on September 1, 2023, both of which were clean. However, some complaint investigations in 2024 found serious issues, including failure to document and report a resident’s fall and failure to provide immediate medical care after the fall, resulting in a substantiated injury and a $500 fine with additional penalties pending. The most recent report from October 28, 2024, cited a deficiency for obstructed passageways due to construction debris, posing an immediate health and safety risk. Several other complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and the facility generally maintained adequate safety equipment and environment. While there have been some serious findings, the facility showed compliance in earlier inspections and no clear pattern of worsening conditions.
