Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on November 20, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies and focused on informing individuals about privacy practices. Earlier inspections showed a mix of results, with the May 8, 2024 re-inspection citing multiple deficiencies related to emergency preparedness, staffing, food safety, infection control, and fire safety measures. Prior reports noted issues with food sanitation, staffing ratios, and fire alarm notification devices, while complaint investigations, including one in March 2022, were unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed prior deficiencies, as indicated by the clean findings in the most recent inspection.
