Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent annual inspection on May 13, 2025, which cited only one minor technical violation. Several complaint investigations between late 2024 and early 2025 were unsubstantiated, with no deficiencies noted in those visits. However, an inspection on October 3, 2024, found multiple substantiated deficiencies related to medication management, staffing shortages, and emergency preparedness. Since then, the facility appears to have improved, as later reports show no further issues. No fines, enforcement actions, or severe findings were listed in the available reports.
The visit was an unannounced required annual inspection conducted to evaluate the facility's compliance with licensing requirements.
Findings
The facility was found to be operating within its approved capacity and in safe, clean, and good repair conditions. One technical violation was cited during the visit. The inspection included a walkthrough, record review, and medication audit.
