Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on June 8, 2026, did not include an onsite visit and therefore did not identify any deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to medication management, record keeping, and safety concerns such as improper storage of hazardous materials and resident equipment issues. A substantiated complaint investigation in April 2025 found staff theft from a resident, which led to employee termination and security improvements; no fines or license actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaints were addressed with accepted plans of correction and ongoing monitoring. The facility’s record shows some improvement over time, with the latest renewal inspection in 2025 noting deficiencies but also corrective actions in place.
